The
Chicago BA Everywhere Committee is excited to announce that Maggie
Brown, distinguished jazz singer, songwriter and educator has generously
offered to perform her one-woman show LEGACY: Our Wealth of Music as a fundraiser for the BA Everywhere Campaign Sunday, June 1, at 3:30pm.
Howard Reich, the Chicago Tribune jazz critic, wrote about Maggie Brown's LEGACY show in 2012:
"Tracing
the history of African-American creativity, the performance piece
examines the roots of Black musical culture and its greatest flowerings.
From African chant, to early ragtime, from classic jazz to modern
blues, LEGACY represents Brown's view of the noblest innovations in
American music. Part concert, part monologue, part lecture, LEGACY has
taken Brown to concert stages around the country, and perhaps more
important, to schools across the city."
This
benefit is part of a major fundraising campaign, "BA Everywhere...
Imagine the Difference It Could Make," to make revolutionary communist
leader Bob Avakian's (BA) leadership and new synthesis of communism
known in all corners of society so people can know and get into why and
how the brutally inhuman society we live in need not be forever. There
is a whole other way humanity could live and flourish. The problem is
too few know about it. Funds raised at this benefit will contribute to
popularizing Avakian and his work so people can engage, discuss and
debate what is the way forward to emancipate humankind.
Many volunteers are needed:
If
you are someone who has ever dreamed of a better world, we urge you to
get involved in this special event. People of all ages, from many walks
of life and many perspectives are needed to realize the tremendous
potential for this event to raise significant funds: ticket
sales; publicity - social media, emails, distribution of posters
