Virginia Kay is the daughter of the late African American composer Ulysses Kay (1917-1995), who is featured at AfriClassical.com. She forwards a compilation from Portside.org about The Dream Unfinished, a concert on July 13, 2016 which was organized by Eun Lee. We posted several items related to the event before it took place, but this list includes information about the concert itself as well as the events leading up to it:
Hello Bill.
Here's a sad, if inspiring collection for your site,
Virginia
On July 13, 2015, Sandra Bland died while in police custody in
Texas. On July 13, 2016, the one-year anniversary of her tragic death,
The Dream Unfinished held a concert to commemorate her and the large
number of Black women impacted by police killings. Whether Black women
and girls are killed by police directly; their loved ones are killed by
police; or police refuse to intervene or respond - Black women, girls,
and femmes are affected by police brutality and killings.
