[transaurus]

every time i see a post about the statue that was pushed into the docks I have an ‘oh right that’s his name’ moment and then forget his name immediately. because the name of a slave trader and owner is not information i want stored in my head.

i do remember important names. 

i remember Cherry Groce and Cynthia Jarrett and Leon Patterson and Joy Gardner and Oluwashijibomi Lapite and Brian Douglas and Alton Manning and Christopher Alder and Rocky Bennett and Roger Sylvester and Derek Bennett and Ricky Bishop and Michael Powell and Azelle Rodney and Jean Charles de Menezes and Mark Nunes and Habib Ullah and Sean Rigg and Seni Lewis and Jimmy Mubenga and Smiley Culture and Kingsley Burrell and Demetre Fraser and Mark Duggan and Jacob Michael and Anthony Grainger and Julian Cole and Leon Briggs and Faruk Ali and Aston McLean and Adrian Thompson and Adrian McDonald and Sheku Bayoh and Daniel Adewole and Jermaine Baker and Sarah Reed and Mzee Mohammed Daley and Edson da Costa and Shane Bryant and Darren Cumberbatch and Rashan Charles and Nuno Cardoso and Kevin Clarke and Trevor Smith and Belly Mujinga and Abigaïl Bennett. i remember the names of British POC, ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE, who were killed by a corrupt and racist system.

i remember Mary Seacole and Nanny of the Maroons and Mary Eliza Mahoney and Toussaint Louverture and Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr and Kofoworola Abeni Pratt. i remember the names of people who were wronged, whose legacies are an important part of Black history and global history.

i remember Dr Shirley Jackson and Madam CJ Walker and Lyda D Newman and Marie Van Brittan Brown and Valerie Thomas and Christina Jenkins and Theora Stephens and Lisa Gelobteran and Sarah Boone. i remember the names of Black women whose inventions are an essential part of our lives today, whose names are swept under the rug and hidden by the names of their white male counterparts.

i remember Jupiter Hammon and Wentworth Cheswell and Phillis Wheatley and James Derham and Thomas L Jennings and Alexander Twilight and Macon Allen and Joseph Jenkins Roberts and Charles L Reason and Sarah Jane Woodson Early and Mary Jane Patterson and Dr Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler and John Willis Menard and Thomas Mundy Peterson and Richard Theodore Greener and Frederick Douglass and Judy W Reed and John R Lynch and Booker T Washington and Butler R Wilson and Lucy Diggs Slowe and Bessie Coleman and Josephine Baker and William Grant Still and James W Ford and William H Hastie and Crystal Bird Fauset and Hattie McDaniel and Bob Howard and Amanda Randolph and Florence LeSueur and Juanita Hall and Ralphe Bunche and Cora Brown and Dorothy Dandridge and Arthur Mitchell and Ruth Carol Taylor and Ruby Bridges and Donyale Luna and Robert Henry Lawrence Jr and Cheryl Browne and Vinnette Justine Carroll and Alan Bell and Teddy Seymour and Barack Obama and Rita Dove and Darnell Martin and Chelsi Smith and Franklin Raines and Venus Williams and Halle Berry and Sophia Danenberg and Karen Bass and Anette Gordon-Reed and Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald and Ruth E Carter and so many more. i remember the names of all the Black firsts who are forgotten, whose accomplishments are ignored.

don’t waste brain space on racists. learn from their mistakes, yes. but learn about the Black people they tried to silence for so long. because i can’t think of a better way to spite racists than by remembering the people they tried to make us forget.

FOLK GUILD GOES “BEYOND A SIMPLE FOLK SONG”

The Hudson Valley Folk Guild will present a concert of music entitled “Beyond a Simple Folk Song”, Sunday, September 24, 2pm, at the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center, 12 Vassar Street in Poughkeepsie, NY.  

 “Beyond a Simple Folk Song” was conceived to be an annual concert of newly created or arranged music that challenges acoustic singer/songwriters to venture out of their comfort zone and stretch their craft beyond the constructs of a song. The concept for “Beyond a Simple Folk Song” emerged in 2009, the 30th anniversary year of the Hudson Valley Folk Guild and also the quadricentennial year of Henry Hudson’s first voyage up the river that bears his name. In honor of these two events, Kevin Becker composed, and conducted “The Hudson River Folk Symphony” for chamber orchestra at two concerts in October of that year at the Cunneen-Hackett Arts Center. Since October of 2009, the series has presented and premiered a wide variety of very creative music. Some examples include dramatic narrations with song such as Fran Palmiere’s “Abraham Lincoln, The Early Years” and Herb Haufrecht’s cantata “We’ve Come from the City” which dealt with the 1940’s controversy of the Ashokan Reservoir providing water to New York City. Other new music or arrangements featured over the past eight years have included Helen Avakian’s performance of Rhapsody in Blue for solo guitar, the Piedmont Blues, a plethora of song cycles, and chamber pieces for a variety of ensembles.

 The concert this year will feature four innovative and creative acts. The highlights include the virtuosic duet, Magpie, as the headline act. Magpie will present a song cycle from their latest CD recording “When We Stand Together” - songs of the IWW, Joe Hill, and the labor movement, then and now. Also on the program will be singer/songwriter Jim Pospisil who will be presenting an original song cycle that draws from motifs and tunes that pervade pop culture, as well as the Piedmont Bluz Acoustic Duo who will apply the “folk process” to blues repertoire written by Blind Willie McTell, Elizabeth Cotton and the Carter family by changing and extending both lyrics and music.  Lastly, will be the reading of a new 1 act musical play depicting the true story of two refugees who fled from South Vietnam after the fall of Saigon entitled “Escape to Freedom.” The play was written by Maryellen Joncyk with music written by Hyde Park composer, Kevin Becker.  

 Magpie - Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner

Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner have brought their unique sound and remarkable versatility to audiences throughout the United States, featuring traditional and historic songs as well as contemporary and stirring original compositions.   With two strong voices in harmony and superb instrumental arrangements, their sound is powerful and moving.   Award-winning recording artists, singers, songwriters, musical historians, playwrights, actors and social activists, Terry and Greg are proud to be, as Pete Seeger said of them, “…more links in the chain,” dedicating their lives and music to leaving this world a better place.

 Terry Leonino's voice is a truly impressive instrument, not only because of its

natural power, but also because of her versatility. She is a gifted singer of jazz and blues, but is equally comfortable with the subtle beauty of traditional folk and contemporary songs. Terry is also an excellent player of the harmonica, mandolin, fretted dulcimer, and rhythm guitar.  Greg Artzner is an outstanding guitarist whose fingerstyle approach is the solid basis of Magpie's sound.

 Terry and Greg's interests in various musical styles have led them to be eclectic in their repertoire. Magpie has always embraced a veritable musical rainbow, with impressive proficiency in each genre they touch.

Cini Foundation - Wikipedia

The Giorgio Cini Foundation (Italian Fondazione Giorgio Cini), or just Cini Foundation, is a cultural foundation founded April 20, 1951 in memory of Count Giorgio Cini (it).

History[edit]

The Foundation is located in the former San Giorgio Monastery on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. The foundation was established by Vittorio Cini in memory of his son, Giorgio Cini, who died in an airplane accident near Cannes in 1949.

Vittorio Cini had a long relationship with the Italian Fascist party, joining in 1926, and had occupied influential positions within government and industry throughout the decades of Mussolini's rule. In early 1943 he was named to the Ministry of Communication, but soon resigned, publicly castigating the obvious dire state of the national situation. He joined the plotting against Mussolini,[1] and with the Nazi occupation of Northern Italy, he was arrested by the SS and sent to the Dachau concentration camp. Transferred to a hospital, his son Giorgio was able to get him released by bribing officials with diamonds and jewellery.[2] Giorgio would also lobby successfully against the elder Cini's legal exclusion from political activities, arguing that his final break with Mussolini mitigated his long years of collaboration.[3]

Purpose and collections[edit]

Part of the original purpose of the Foundation was to rebuild the convent that had been destroyed by Napoleon and later used by the Austrian Army, then the Italian Army, and rehabilitate the island within the context of the cultural history of Venice.[4] It now houses a historical library of about 15 000 volumes, an archive of manuscripts, and a collection concerning documents about history, music, theater and art. It is also a venue for exhibitions, concerts and meetings. As such it was a meeting place for the G7 meetings in 1980 and 1987.[5]

The Foundation possess manuscripts and letters of famous persons of the theatrical and literary life of Italy at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth century, including Arrigo Boito, Eleonora Duse, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Giovanni Pascoli, Gian Francesco Malipiero, and Diego Valeri (poet). The Malipiero collection includes the library of the composer as well as scores, correspondence and many musical autographs. The Foundation also retains most of the music by Nino Rota, including a collection of sketches.

The Foundation also is home to the School of San Giorgio for the Study of Venetian Civilisation, an academic center to examine the contributions of the Republic of Venice to civilization.

La Foresteria[edit]

The Foresteria are the exclusive guest quarters that were built for Cini's friends and have been reserved for important guests who attend meetings at the Cini foundation. Filled with valuable art and presenting across the water a view of St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace, the place has been visited by heads of state including Jimmy Carter, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, François Mitterrand, Romano Prodi, Carlo Azeglio Ciampi, and King Juan Carlos I of Spain.[6]

I think silverv is a slowburn, a doomed to fail - star-crossed lovers who wanted, and did, hate each other, but now are so deeply connected [by force or otherwise] that they would sacrifice their life again and again for one another. I think they teach each other so much, as friends [and as lovers.] I think Johnny needed V, more than he ever could of realized. Fate genuinely handed them to each other in the weirdest way. Imagine finding someone you understand intrinsically [its the chip/magic/spell/virus/etc or is it love trope???] only to be the thing that could destroy them.
