[SPEAKER_07]: Èske li pi bon? O, wi, li pral byen. Ou ok? Bon pou rankontre ou. Wi. Ou ok? Bonjou, mwen isit la. Mwen pral wè Catherine isit la. Bonjou. Ou ok?
[Unidentified]: Bon pou rankontre ou. Mèsi. Mèsi. Mèsi. Mèsi. Sa a se pa frèt. Sa a se pa. Tout bagay nan lide m 'yo. Wi, dwa, dwa. Li pral trè frèt demen. Pi mal pase frèt. Sa a li. Èske pa gen moun ki vle chita nan ranje devan an avè m '? Ok, ou pa ta dwe anseye.
[Terry Carter]: Poukisa nou pa? Li pral elaji. Ou toujou ap fè ou.
[Unidentified]: Ann fè li. Se tankou joumou ki rete a pou jou Halloween lan, men mwen cho. Mèsi.
[SPEAKER_07]: Omg. Mwen konnen li vle. Wi. Wi. Li trè bon. Wi. Wi. Èske ou vle jwenn li?
[Unidentified]: Mwen konnen. Mwen konnen. Ba ou yon minit. Èske mwen nan bank dwat la?
[Terry Carter]: Ou se nan bank la dwat. Ok Èske ou trè bon? Mwen byen. Trè bon, mwen pral jwenn dlo.
[Unidentified]: Ann kòmanse. Tout se byen. Wi.
[Crossman]: . Ann retounen nan sante, sa ok. Mwen pral eseye. Tout sa ou konnen se, jwenn deyò.
[Terry Carter]: Tcheke, tcheke.
[Crossman]: Li te santi li. Ok
[Terry Carter]: Tankou yon douch. Bonjou, pitit gason? Wi. Ok Bonswa, zanmi ak vwazen. Non mwen se Terry E. Oke - diskou nan premye Vandredi mo yo ak chante (premye tèks la ak chante nan 2023). Li te fevriye, mwa a nan istwa nwa, e malgre frèt la jele deyò, nou te toujou trè cho nan bilding lan. Gras a sibvansyon jenere ki soti nan manm Konsèy Medford Arts nan Komisyon Kiltirèl Massachusetts la, nou ap fè li ankò nan 111 Arlington Street. Li evidan, nou toujou ap travay yo konprann bezwen sante lokal yo ak enkyetid. Se poutèt sa, maskin se si ou vle epi yo ka rekòmande, men sa a se sètènman pa obligatwa. Nou pa te blese pa selebrasyon yo MLK epi yo te anpil siksè sou 16 janvye. An jeneral, nou espesyalize nan WMCC patwone pwogram ap viv la. Li k ap pase nan tout Medford. Plus, nou te mande l 'yo dwe janti ak vwazen l' lè li te deplase pi devan nan mitan lannwit. Nou renmen travay medya yo fè pa manm nan ekip la Kyle Douglas. Oke ... gras a Kevin Harrington ak Medford Kominote Media pou gide nou lè nou gaye nan Comcast nan chanèl yo medya nan kominote a Medford 3 ak Verizon nan 47. Si w ap gade yon televizyon sou aparèy elektwonik ou oswa televizyon, li se yon bon pwogram. Ou kapab tou gen aksè a sou -liy pwogram lan sou MCM sou YouTube. Pouvwa reyèl la nan New England se sètènman sou nou aswè a. Sa vle di nou bezwen prepare pou defi yo enprevi nan peyizaj lokal la. Ou sètènman vle wè nouvo prezidan NAACP a Jillian Harvey gen yon konvèsasyon lokal avè m 'aswè a. Malerezman, Gillian malad, malerezman pa Vandredi sa a. Nou prezante vizit ou nan parad la ak pwomès ou ap chèche pou pi devan pou vizite nou tout. Se poutèt sa, Plan B gen efè konplè epi li se yon altènatif pwisan ak bon. Trè bon, kidonk li pa pral blame nou pou baiting ak chanje. Mwen te konn travay nan Lehmere, vann elektwonik nan kay e souvan te blame m. Men, mwen transfere tèt mwen. Konvèsasyon sa a te aktyèlman yon konvèsasyon ke envite mwen ak mwen te planifye yo gen alantou 2022, men lavi te troublan. Se konsa, aswè a se yon bon moman yo dwe ak zanmi m 'ak kòlèg li nan WMCC, direktè egzekitif la nan sa a West Medford Community Center (Lisa M. Crossman). Se pou ou di ou yon bagay sou li. Lisa se yon defandè dinamik nan kominote a. Pifò nan karyè granmoun yo te konekte timoun yo, jèn moun ak pi gran moun ki gen resous, rezistans ak respè. Sa a se pasyon ou ak se trè bon nan li. Soti nan Desanm 2021, li te yon nouvo manm nan manm nan Komisyon Konsèy dinamik WMCC, e li te byento rekrite nan yon pozisyon ijans kòm direktè egzekitif pwovizwa ak te kòmanse kanpay li. Enstale yon nouvo sistèm jesyon, mete ajou kominikasyon ak elaji rezo a nan zanmi ak sipòtè nan kay sa a respekte Bairro. Lisa byen vit amelyore estabilite, prezans ak repitasyon òganizasyon nou an. nan Medford ak pi lwen pase. Pwofesyonalis sa a ak atitid sou pouvwa a te dirije rekòmandasyon WMCC pou konkli ke li te apwopriye pou anplwaye e ke yo te retire etikèt entèmedyè a nan fen 2022. Lisa sèvi kòm yon antrenè, konsiltan ak manadjè nan Felle Cockro, bay lidèchip eksepsyonèl pou òganizasyon tankou Greater Boston YWCA, Shriver Job Corps, Malden ak Clark Memorial, osi byen ke Winchendon, Massachusets ak Fitchburg. Travay li nan West Medford pote yon anpil nan Tenacity, bon konprann, sans komen ak istwa san sans. Biwo Majistra a, ansyen ajans Medford, konpayi, filantrop ak antite politik te siyen plan an isit la nan 111. Koulye a, evèk mwen renmen di ke sa a se yon krapo malere, epi li pa fè lwanj lak pwòp li yo. Se konsa, li te onè mwen yo resevwa Lisa Crossman sou tab la WMCC sou premye Vandredi a.
[Crossman]: Mèsi, Terry, mèsi.
[Terry Carter]: Se konsa, Lisa, di ou mèsi anpil pou yo te jwè a premye nan bank la ak kolekte wòch. Li lè.
[Crossman]: Trè bon, vini sou.
[Terry Carter]: Tout se byen. Se konsa, pa 2023, nou toujou nan èdtan yo byen bonè nan istwa nwa. Mwen vle mennen nou nan imè istorik. Mwen te ekri anpil powèm sou eritaj, misyon ak vizyon. Depi abitid mwen se yon abitid sou nwit sa yo, mwen vle pataje yon vèsè. Sa a se sa mwen rele li, mwen te vini nan istwa a. Mwen te vini paske nan ki jan ou bati kote sa a, trip, poupou, istwa nesesè ak nesesè, lavil la sèlman nan vil la ke ou ka gen. Men, ou bati l 'ak pye pen, broch, poto ak rezistans, ak bote nan responsablite ak sans nan lafwa. Mwen te vini nan istwa yo nan ewo ak moun ki anonse, manifaktirè yo nan aristokrat ak teritwa, ak fwontyè yo ak obstak switch. Premye a se fè pi enpòtan an, fonse, entèdi, enkoni, brav. Mwen te vini nan istwa yo, istwa sa yo ou sove pou timoun ou yo, timoun yo ak timoun yo. Istwa Anansi a, istwa Shaka Zulu a, istwa Sheba a, istwa Hannibal a, Toussaint, Sojourner, Malcolm, Marcus, Marcus, Istwa Martin ak Istwa Medgar. Ki jan nou rive sou ak sa nou simonte. Mwen te vini paske nan istwa sa yo, tout nan yo ki te pèdi, yo vòlè li oswa extrait, paske istwa sa a pa ta ka vre m ', epi mwen pa t' kapab revele tèt mwen, epi mwen pa t 'kapab atire tèt mwen san yo pa montre nwa, mawon ak tan. Li tèlman klè ke teyori a kritik nan tout ras la di m 'ke nou ap prèske efase sot pase a epi nou pral peye yon anpil lajan. Mwen te vini paske sèlman powèt te kapab rakonte istwa, istwa nan majik, ki jete òneman, k ap viv dlo ak klòch byen lwen soti nan tanbou byen lwen, reyaji nan oseyan an nan koki Rèn la. Orange Salalah AR anfle. Lè move lespri a tonbe, arkanj la ap eseye. Giants yo kouri met deyò kote David te viv, pou yo dwe pwofondman submerged. Rejyon an te bat epi voye tounen nan lanfè. Riot la te fini ak yon rèl tris. Ode diferan de sa. Mwen te vini paske nan istwa a epi mwen pa ta ale deyò paske tout bagay mwen preche ou se pi lwen pase sijè ki abòde pwòp mwen paske nwa pa konnen kwen nan vyolasyon nou an paske rayi se renmen ak kòlè klere nan renmen pou yo renmen yo. Mwen te vini nan istwa a. Mwen te vini nan istwa a. Mwen te vini nan istwa a. Se poutèt sa, sa a se jete nan tè a. Se pou nou gen yon konvèsasyon zanmitay ak Lisa Crossman. Se konsa, Lisa, ou ka pale sou istwa ou a ak kominote sa a West Medford?
[Crossman]: Ok Premye a tout, mwen pral di ke li diferan sou bò sa a nan tab la. Men, byen, mwen gen yon bon zanmi, pi bon zanmi m 'yo, ki moun ki soti nan West Medford ak ap viv sou Harvard Street. Bondye, ou ka voye jete wòch nan kay la. Lè sa a, li mennen m 'isit la. Ann ale nan kolèj ansanm. Li mennen m 'isit la fè konpetisyon nan baskètbòl. Se la li ye, kisa k ap pase? Li te etonan vin isit la ak rankontre tout moun. Yo te trè antouzyastik ak kè kontan. Nou kite san yon pwoblèm oswa pwoblèm. Anjeneral, nou jis chita nan kay ak mache nan katye a epi li di nou dwe wè ki moun ki deyò epi nou dwe di bonjou pou tout moun. Yo pral sou pyès devan kay la. Se konsa, Bondye, li te apeprè 20 ane depi mwen te rankontre Simedford, ou konnen, fanmi li se tankou fanmi mwen, yo prezante m 'bay lòt moun, e sa ki te premye koneksyon mwen, yo pa konnen ke soti nan mas yo santral pa ta janm .... Se konsa, panse mwen pral nan Boston, tankou lè w ap nan mas santral la, sa se jis yon piki nan fè nwa a, dwa? Ou ale nan Boston pou jwenn siksè, travay ak tout bagay. Se konsa, ou konnen, 20 ane pita, mwen isit la. Direktè Egzekitif nan Sant Kominotè a. Ou se pou kont ou, ou konnen, yon sèk konplè. Wi.
[Terry Carter]: Wi. Wi. Ok, gwo. Se konsa, sa ki te fè ou deside patisipe nan sant kominotè a an premye?
[Crossman]: Stephen Douglas. Yo dwe onèt, Stephen Douglas te dwe abitye avèk Stephen, ki gen fanmi te gen yon istwa long nan sant la e li te bay li nan sant la nan kèk fason oswa fòm. Li te chita sou tablo a nan moman sa a epi li te pale de yon anvlòp Ou konnen, gen kèk deranjman, pral gen chanjman. Sa ki te pandan pandemi an. Se konsa, mwen pa t 'gen yon travay nan moman sa a. Li te di, ou konnen, ou enterese? Mwen absoliman di.
[Terry Carter]: Wi, li nan gwo. Lè sa a, ou kòmanse sou tablo a.
[Crossman]: Mwen kòmanse avèk tablo direktè yo. Wi.
[Terry Carter]: Lè sa a, li te deplase byen vit nan adrès la tanporè.
[Crossman]: Ok Nou chanje sou sa. Se konsa, ou konnen, sa a se Vandredi a lè dènye direktè a kite e mwen ta entèvni lè li te nan pozisyon li. Mwen gen eksperyans ke nou pral kenbe pòt la louvri epi nou pral kenbe li kouri jiskaske nou jwenn sa ki nan pwochen an.
[Terry Carter]: Oke. Tout se byen. Lè sa a. Nan premye fwa ou te isit la, ou te chita nan chèz direktè a. Ki sa ki ta ka yon ti repo oswa di move lespri yo mwen te resevwa, espesyalman nan jou yo byen bonè nan gouvènman ou an?
[Crossman]: Oh ti gason. Mwen pa ka di sa, tankou, ki jan Mwen pa konnen, antre nan yon sèl se yon mistè, gen de, menm jan an, nou te kite pandemi an ak pwogramasyon pa t 'reyèlman rive. Se konsa, tankou, ou konnen, pa gen yon sèl sou telefòn la, pa gen okenn imèl, pa gen yon sèl mache nan pòt la. Nou anba anpil bagay. Nou gen anpil bagay nan diferan kote. Apre sa, mwen ka wè bagay sa yo ki gen yo dwe inyore pou yon ti tan. Lè sa a, li la tankou, o wi, Lè ou antre nan galata a, louvri kèk kabinèt ak louvri koule a epi w ap tankou, o Bondye mwen. Se sa mwen konnen. Tankou, o, ok. Li ta yon travay.
[Terry Carter]: Li ta yon travay. Ok, trè bon. Ok Tout se byen. Se konsa, ou ap kondwi WMCC. Li kapab abondan pa li si sa nesesè. Ki sa ki te anseye ou byen lwen tèlman nan West Medford nan Greater Medford?
[Crossman]: Yo te di m ke yon vil sanble anpil ak yon sèl sa a Ou konnen, moun ka viv lavi diferan, ki soti nan orijin trè diferan, men tout moun gen yon sijè komen. Mwen panse ke sa a se youn nan karakteristik yo ki inik nan Medford, mwen gen liksye a nan ale nan espas diferan, Nan diferan gwoup ak reyinyon, elatriye, pale ak moun ak istwa tout moun se menm bagay la. Ou konnen, yo te grandi isit la, petèt yo toujou nan rezidans fanmi sa a, oswa k ap viv ki tou pre, oswa date yon lekòl ak lè l sèvi avèk yo voye jete wòch nan yon moun sou miray la, oswa nenpòt ki kwazman yo antre nan se menm bagay la nan West Medford ak Medford. Gen anpil Istwa ki sanble. Yo renmen fanmi yo. Nan nenpòt ka, yo renmen pwòp vil yo, vil la. Epi, ou konnen, nou sèlman gen sa a fann oswa miray ki toujou la, nou vle pran yon gade, hey, li sanble tankou nou yo trè menm jan an. Nou se menm bagay la. Ak ki jan yo konnen sa a? Padon. Mwen te wè pitit gason m 'nan kwen an. Li te panse li te pèfòmans Grant a aswè a.
[Unidentified]: Lè sa a, mwen te di l '.
[Terry Carter]: Tout se byen. Se sèlman si ou panse li san danje pou li retounen nan dlo a. Ok Sa a se vre premye fwa nou an. An jeneral, nou pa gen okenn siy sibvansyone. Anjeneral, li bloke tèt li nan biwo a epi li gen òdinatè l 'yo ak jwèt, ak tout bagay se pare. Men aswè a, li te trè kirye. Èske kiryozite bon pou sèt-ane-timoun ki gen? Wi. Yon ti gason sèt-zan. Wi, li nan gwo. Epi, si mwen jennen, li pral evantyèlman retounen nan biwo a ak laptop ou. Se konsa, li pa gen pwoblèm. Tout se byen. Jwe rapid, nou ka jwe miltip, men mwen vle fè yon jwèt rapid asosyasyon mo. Se konsa, mwen pral ba ou yon kòmantè ke ou ka evite yon ti kras si ou ka tire sijesyon ou. Se konsa, premye mo a se rezistans.
[Crossman]: rezistans. Mwen panse ke nou tout rezistan. Kèk nan nou bezwen plis rezistan pase lòt, tou depann de sitiyasyon nou an ak ki jan nou jwenn nan mond lan. Men, sa a se yon pati nan limanite. Chak jou nou leve epi di, poukisa nou fè sa? Poukisa nou oblije ale nan travay chak jou? Kisa nap fè? Ou konnen, nou avanse pou pi devan nan maladi, chagren, pèt. Ou tout gen rezistans, nou tout ap jwe ak bèl souri, kontinye deplase pi devan, kontinye travay di ak tann yo gen yon jou. Men. Wi, Tenacity pral mo a.
[Terry Carter]: Mwen renmen sa. Mwen renmen sa. Mwen espesyalman renmen sa ou mansyone, ou konnen, nou te soufri pèt. Mwen souvan di, epi ou konnen, moun isit la tande m ', e ke sa a youn nan bagay ki pi di, espesyalman nan mitan moun yo ki pi gran, se Ou konnen, sa vle di ou pafwa santi tankou w ap pèdi moun yo ou vini nan ak moun ki te gen de jou de sa yo pa gen okenn ankò avèk nou. Se konsa, mwen panse ke li depann sou wòl yo nan tou de nan nou Reziste a yon moun ki pa nesesèman santi sitiyasyon sa a nan yon tan bay yo. Se konsa, mwen panse ke sa a se sa nou tou de eseye fè isit la se kenbe souri a sou figi nou yo ak kenbe blag yo epi kontinye deplase pi devan. Ou te fè yon bon travay. Ok, se konsa dezyèm mo a se eritaj.
[Crossman]: Mwen renmen reflechi sou jistis paske li pa yon mo, regrèt. Legacy se tankou louvri yon pòt, li se yon men sekrè, dwa? Nan fason sa a, lè ou panse pòt la fèmen, sa a se kle a. Dapre moun ki pataje byen, nou gen yon anpil nan opòtinite isit la. Mwen pa ka vrèman remèsye Melinda paske li, trezorye nou Melinda Regan, reyèlman ban nou opòtinite pou louvri limit nou yo, louvri yon anpil nan pòt ak opòtinite yo familyarize nou ak ak konprann konbyen bagay ki travay intrinsèquement. Mwen panse ke se jis youn nan bagay ki pi piti nou ka fè. Kòm Direktè Egzekitif Menm yon moun nan kominote a, mwen panse ke sa a se wòl mwen. Mwen gen anpil privilèj pou konnen, se konsa mwen ka anseye yon moun epi ede yo konprann chanèl yo, ki jis pou pataje konesans nou an.
[Terry Carter]: Ekselan. Mwen renmen sa. Mwen renmen sa. Mwen konnen sa ka chanje nan senaryo a chanjman, men ki sa yo opinyon ou ye kounye a sou West Medford Community Center a?
[Crossman]: Oh ti gason. View mwen ye kounye a se Ki sa mwen vle di se ke objektif la se libète finansye a nan sant la. Mwen santi mwen sant lan merite libète finansye. Nou te alantou depi 1935 e nou gen kèk kont lou. Men, depi nou finansyèman gratis, nou pran retrèt ou nan zòn sibvansyon sa a. Epi, espas sibvansyon ki pi di a se, ou konnen, nou ap akimile pa manifaktirè yo, anjeneral gouvènman federal la ak lòt moun, men, ou konnen, yo ap panse sou lè l sèvi avèk lang lan, yo ap panse sou ki jan nou ta dwe di kominote nou an, dwa? Apre sa, mwen pa panse ke li nan yon fason nou ta dwe konekte ak biznis, kominote oswa ONG, se sa ki, hey, ou gen di m 'ki kantite moun, ou konnen, ki sa ki sèks, ki sa ki gen laj? Se konsa, li ta yon bon bagay fè sa paske nou ap fè li. Sa a se vizyon an. Vizyon an se enjekte yon espas jèn isit la ak grandi, konekte chèf fanmi nou yo ak travay la nan travay, ou konnen, kèk espas nan jaden an ak konekte nan kominote a nan li. Ou konnen, li la tou vizyon an ak travay nan sant la detèminasyon, lavil la ap bay lwen pilòt ak si nou ka finanse l 'ankò. Nou planifye pou kontinye travay sa a. Nou ap viv isit la sou plenn lan inondasyon, se konsa nou vle asire w ke rezidan nou yo pare. Nou panse ke sa a se tou yon travay enpòtan. Sa a se vizyon an. Plis moun kontinye ogmante travay yo.
[Terry Carter]: Mwen vle di, kontinye vini. Kontinye vini. Se poutèt sa, moun ki ta dwe konnen ke ou se yon baskètbòl sekou.
[Sumner]: Wi.
[Terry Carter]: Ok? Sa a se vre. Jwèt ak fòmasyon, ki bay ou ak aktivite yo ak relasyon dirèk nan jwèt la baskètbòl ki mennen nan WMC?
[Crossman]: Oh, ale. Se konsa, mwen se yon antrenè, abit, jwè, epi yo te resevwa fòmasyon nan lekòl segondè. Sa a ban mwen konfyans nan travay mwen paske li se yon espas domine pa moun. Se konsa, li te ban m 'konfyans nan konekte, bati, konnen ki lè yo kontinye, konnen ki lè yo peye atansyon, chanje plan, lè yo rekrite plis jwè yo, jwenn nan jwèt la, ki jan yo ogmante enèji ak kat, nan kouri long la. Nou jis pa t 'jwe ak te jwe. Nou gen yon plan estratejik nan ki jan nou pral genyen jwèt la. Epi, si ou se yon gwo antrenè, ou gen plan LA Z paske ou pa janm konnen kisa ki pral rive nan jwèt la. Ak ki jan yo jere tan. Tan se yon faktè enpòtan nan baskètbòl. Nan moman sa yo, dènye 30 segonn yo nan jwèt la ka chanje souvan. Lè sa a, wi, li te fè anpil pou lavi mwen. Mwen konnen li te fè anpil bagay ak anpil lòt moun ki gen ladan Brianna. Travay ann ekip, aprann jwenn ansanm, dwa? Pa tach feblès ak asire w ke ou se ankourajan tout moun.
[Terry Carter]: Ok, tout bagay anfòm. Lè sa a, retounen nan asosyasyon an mo. sipò.
[Crossman]: Yon kominote. Kominote se mo pou mwen. Mwen santi mwen tankou mwen gen yon anpil nan sipò nan kominote a, espesyalman isit la. Apre sa, mwen santi mwen tankou mwen ap eseye jwenn yon espas ki ka sipòte tèt mwen. Wi, pafwa, mwen pa fè sa. Mwen jis pa t '. Lè sa a, ou konnen, yon veteran ta ale sou pòt la ak blag oswa fè m 'ri. Mwen renmen, ok. Nou pral antre oswa resevwa apèl nan men moun ki soti nan lavil tankou Francis. Li te gen lide sa a. Nou tankou, ok, vini sou. Nou jis renmen chanje pronostik la tout antye. Li enpòtan.
[Terry Carter]: Ok, bon bagay. kominikasyon
[Crossman]: Mwen ta di mwen mennen ou nan lide m 'yo, pa nan kè m' yo. Youn nan bagay mwen antere se imèl absoliman pozitif. Se konsa, mwen pito rele, pale ak moun ki an pèsòn, epi entwodui ou nan biwo yon moun. Se poutèt sa, mwen pito kominikasyon pèsonèl. Mwen panse ke li trè enpòtan, epi nou te pèdi li sou ane yo. Pou 20 ane, nou pral pran yon randevou al kontre yon moun. Ou pral antre epi di bonjou. Mwen pèdi moman sa yo. Mwen pa konnen si nou ka pote yo tounen. Men, mwen panse ke kominikasyon enpòtan. Mwen panse ke nou rate rale a. Ou reyèlman pa ka pale sou pèsonalite yon moun nan oswa enèji nan rale. Apre sa, mwen panse endividyèlman ak kominikasyon yo se reyèlman enpòtan. Se konsa nou konnen youn ak lòt.
[Terry Carter]: Mwen mande si sa a se Karayib la. Paske mwen reyèlman bezwen la. Ok Se konsa, petèt mwen pral mande sa a pi bonè, men mwen pral mande de tout fason. Se konsa, byen lwen, ki sa ki sou moman pi renmen ou oswa kèk moman ke yo te yon pati nan fanmi sa a?
[Crossman]: Oh monchè. Baskètbòl ete se definitivman lis mwen an. Basketball se nan kè mwen. Lig nou an gen 40 ti fi, e pa gen okenn presedan pou baskètbòl yo jwe 40 ti fi ak jwe baskètbòl ansanm. Se konsa, sa a, se yon bagay. Gwoup la-wo fen se etonan. Li se yon lòt bon moman pou mwen, pèsonèlman, pèsonèlman ak satisfè tout moun, sou mi yo ak istwa. Èske w te konnen, zanmi m 'Clayton yon fwa te di m' ke li te yon fwa te di, OK, lè li te wè l ', li gade, OK, dwa? Se konsa, bagay yo jis rete avè m '. Evènman an se definitivman MLK Jou se gwo. Jis yo rive jwenn li. Se konsa, sa yo, se pi enpòtan an, men pa gen okenn tan mwen ka kontinye pale sou ke yo te kapab chita isit la epi di li souvan twonpe m 'nan jwi li.
[Terry Carter]: Ok, ok. Se konsa, pwochen fwa, ki sa ki mouvman nouvo nou pral ankouraje ou kounye a ane sa a?
[Crossman]: Lè sa a, sèk la, sant la nan Elastisite se jeneral. Travay nan sant la rezistans ap pèmèt vil la ak patnè gwoup la yo vin. Mwen gade pou pi devan pou sa a, nou rantre nan nan, jwenn yon fason yo travay ansanm epi fèmen tout twou vid ki genyen yo. Nan li, nou pral fè fas ak povrete nan yon pwogram ki rele Circles USA. Sa a pral premye chapit la nan Massachusetts, ki se trè enteresan. Onètman, kèk travay ann ekip. Travay ann ekip nan Timonera mwen an. Entim ak renmen anpil. Li trè entim ak renmen anpil. Se konsa, ou konnen, kap ajoute plis pwogramasyon, petèt chanje espas ki la ak louvri l 'pou adolesan nou yo, ou konnen, kèk adilt tandr, kèk valab.
[Terry Carter]: Ok, trè bon. Ok, sa se yon lòt mo. Aktivite.
[Crossman]: Oh ti gason. Kouraj, mwen pral di kouraj, dwa? Ou reyèlman bezwen di se sa mwen panse. Sa a se sa mwen wè kòrèkteman, e se sa mwen wè se kòrèk. Jistis, enjistis ak egzistans. Mwen panse ke li se yon espas difisil. Ou bezwen konnen ki moun ou ye, ki sa ou panse, ak sa ki sot pase ou a. Pou sa ka fèt. Apre sa, mwen panse, ou konnen, yon anpil nan moun kite epi yo pa pral vini nan. Pifò moun pa fè lwanj li, pa vre? Pou espas sa a, moun konprann li. Men, gen anpil lòt moun ki ap goumen, se sèlman son an nan dezè a se opoze mòn lan, fè fas a pwa yo nan mòn lan. Men, yo pral fè li de tout fason ak Lè sa a, apresye sa a bon jan kalite nan fòmasyon. Atò
[Terry Carter]: Nan espas sa a fizik, mwen pa toujou santi li. Paske nou gen anpil moun ap pale de aktivis bò kote nou yo, yo pale ak moun ki wè yon bagay bezwen yo, yo pale ak Rudy Smith, gade nan estasyon lapolis la, epi di dwe gen yon reprezantan nwa. Lè sipèvizè ou di ou, mwen pa menm konnen kisa pou m fè. Nan mete l 'nan lari a ak bat disip ak vin youn nan estasyon lapolis la dekore. Se yon zanmi Clayton. Booker ak Evelyn Tyner louvri sa a boutik bote ak kolekte tèt sè yo 'pou yo te ka ale lakay yo epi yo vin bèl pou Hubbins yo. Menm nan yon fason plis modèn, li te chanpyon an nan Henry Malorin. Li se bon konprann pou vin yon chanpyon nan vil la. Li se yon doktè. Li montre sa k ap pase isit la, ki moun nou ye, ki moun nou ye, ki sa nou ye, ki sa nou yo kapab. Gen yon anpil nan bagay ki pale sou bagay pozitif ak fèm, se konsa mwen renmen deskripsyon ou nan li. Se konsa, lè ou konsidere koperasyon jèn yo ak devlopman, ou mansyone ak reziste, bilding kominote a ak sa ou aprann nan kalite semès inisyal la rapòte desizyon sa yo, deliberasyon sa yo?
[Crossman]: Sou asosyasyon an?
[Terry Carter]: Wi, ou konnen, wi, kolaborasyon ak kèk nan inisyativ yo ak kèk nan bagay sa yo yo reyèlman vle fè.
[Crossman]: Mwen panse ke koute, koute se reyèlman enpòtan. Nan jèn mwen an, mwen te vini epi mwen te di, mwen te jwenn li ta dwe chanje. Mwen pral chanje. Mwen pral chanje. Mwen pral chanje. Mwen te chita epi koute dilijans. Si mwen wè konfwontasyon, mwen pral fè kolizyon. Nou jis te wè ak pale sou li, se konsa nou akòste pwochen fwa. Sa a pral yon pati nan li. Mwen gen yon pi bon konpreyansyon sou peyizaj la. Ak defi kèk anplwaye ak patnè yo tcheke pye m 'yo, sèlman Gade sa mwen wè epi yo gen yon konvèsasyon ki baze sou li. Li bon pou di, petèt mwen mal, men pafwa, lè nou kole nan travay e nou ap fè sa, nou tèlman pre ke nou souvan pa wè enpak nou an. Yon bagay ke yon lòt moun oswa yon lòt moun ta ka santi yo. Se konsa, ou konnen, fwa sa a defi moun yo tcheke yon lòt piki ak wè ki kote nou te ka bwa soti zegwi a. Onètman, gen anpil moun. Tan deplase trè vit. Wi, yon ane te pase. Tan deplase trè vit epi nou pa menm grate sifas la nan kolaborasyon ak asosyasyon.
[Terry Carter]: Absoliman, absoliman. Gen yon fason lontan yo ale. Mwen panse ke ou te wè yon bon View nan travay, konbyen moun ki ap gade aletranje Ap tann pou envitasyon oswa ap tann pou kèk kalite inisyativ ka pote yo sou tab la. Nou se reyèlman chans nan sa a konsiderasyon paske anpil moun yo ap tann ak nou yo kapab envite epi yo kòmanse fè bagay sa a kolaborasyon travay byen.
[Crossman]: Dwa, dwa, ou konnen, paske nan kredibilite ou, moun yo ap tann, tankou si yo te pase, jis tankou yo ta dwe, ou konnen, ou konnen, konfòtab ase, se konsa di, ok, nou gen yon chans. Se konsa, nou apresye opòtinite sa yo ak bay tèt nou yon kèk segond ak yon twazyèm chans fè sa.
[Terry Carter]: Wi, dezyèm ak twazyèm chans. Ok, se konsa sa a se yon ti kras pèsonèl. Ou ka pran li nan kote ou vle li. Men, èske moun ou fèk rankontre a pral sezi konnen ou?
[Crossman]: Oh ti gason. Oh bonte mwen, sa a pral yon moun. Rakonte istwa sa a jodi a, li ta sezi pou chèche konnen ke mwen te fèt. Nan kay la, li te planifye pou yo ale nan lopital la, men li te tire yon piki nan kay la.
[Terry Carter]: Oke, mwen te panse nan kèk pwen, oswa mwen ta kouri dèyè timoun yo nan mòn yo. Li konnen logo li. Men, pa gen okenn, pa gen okenn, men li la sou, li nan kaptivan.
[Crossman]: Wi, yon sèl moun, sa mwen espere se pa doulè a mwen konnen. Ou konnen, ou tande yon anpil nan fanm, pa konnen, dwa? Mwen panse ke tolerans doulè mwen an trè wo paske, zanmi m 'kite Li te pran pitit fi li a yon kote epi yon fwa li te fèmen pòt la li ta pran m 'nan lopital la ak li pa t' kòmanse ak pòt la fèmen fè anbilans la kapab antre nan, ap eseye kraze pòt la ak rele 9-1-1, mwen te tankou mwen pa t 'konnen ki sa fè? Li enteresan, men natirèlman li te trete. Li te tire e li te pran men l. Se konsa, batistè ou di adrès kay la, ki se gwo pou nou. Mwen te kapab mennen kay la epi di, hey, sa a se kote ou te fèt. Wow.
[Terry Carter]: Wow. Wow. Mwen gen kat frè ak sè. Sa a pa te rive chak nan nou. Nou se ti bebe nan lopital la. Sa a se pè. Sa a se pè. Se konsa, mwen vle vire script la paske evidamman ou menm ak mwen travay byen ansanm. Mwen te pase anpil tan sou entèvyou a. Mwen vle ba ou yon jwèt ki se yon jwèt pwòp. Se konsa, ki kesyon oswa kesyon ou vle mande m '?
[Crossman]: Oke, mwen pral mande ... o gade, mwen pa pare ankò. Sa a se sa mwen vle prepare. Natirèlman, sa a se yon lis lesiv.
[Terry Carter]: Wi mwen konnen. Sa a se espontane mwen, ou konnen? Mwen pap di ou anyen.
[Crossman]: Mwen ta di: Kòm yon pati nan sa a boom atistik ak kiltirèl ki k ap pase nan Medford, èske ou imajine West Medford?
[Terry Carter]: Wi. Mwen panse ke gen kèk bagay. Sètènman ... Mwen remèsye majistra a ak vil la pou mennen m 'nan pozisyon sa a, men plis tankou, mwen pa nesesèman di ki sa yon simulation se, men yon bagay tankou powèt la Laureato. Ou konnen, plis bagay sijere moun ki nan yon fason trè ekspre ak byen file, ak atizay enpòtan isit la. Ou konnen, kilti enpòtan isit la. Divèsite nan de espas sa yo, espas atistik ak espas kiltirèl yo trè enpòtan. Nou pral jwenn fason pou ankouraje li. Koulye a, mwen konpetisyon Mwen konnen kèk moun mwen fè konpetisyon pou konpetisyon ak powèt Laurerech la. Se konsa, mwen ka di ke san konte lonbraj la nan dout, prèv pozitif, Pa gen okenn preferans, nan kou pa gen okenn nepotism. Mwen pa yon fanmi nenpòt moun. Se konsa, li se vre sa li panse se jis, konpetisyon ki jis, ke nenpòt nan mesye sa yo ta dwe vo li epi yo ka fè sa nan lavni. Se konsa, sa a ki sa li ye. Li te asire ke tout moun te konnen ke nan espas sa a nan atizay ak kilti, Kòm Dr King te di, moun ki pral konsidere moun ki gen pwòp ladrès yo, pa koulè a nan po l 'yo, men kontni an nan pèsonalite l' yo, kèlkeswa pèsonalite atistik li, konesans kiltirèl, enspirasyon l 'yo, enspirasyon l' yo. Moun yo pral pran sou tab la yo konsidere bagay sa yo, se pa paske yo se koulè a menm jan ak nap la. Se konsa, wi, mwen panse ke se tout. Mwen espere ke atizay ak kilti vil sa a enpòtan pou tout moun. Tout moun ale nan mize a, sosyete a istwa. Tout moun ale nan bibliyotèk la. Tout moun te ale nan nouvo sant atizay la ki pral louvri sou Mystic Avenue. Tout moun santi bon - li eman nan tout espas sa yo paske li enpòtan. Mwen panse ke youn nan bagay sa yo, epi ou te pale avè m 'sou yon anpil, li se yon repozitwa nan atizay ak kilti, epi li la tou se yon nèg bon. Sa a se yon espas ki fèt nan kominote a Afriken Ameriken nan Etazini yo. Pa mal. Lè ou vini isit la, ou pral wè istwa sa a. Ou ka gen pati isit la, ou pa kouvri foto yo, ou konnen, okenn nan sa a pral rive. Ou dwe konprann ke malgre chanjman yo, sa a se yon eleman trè enpòtan ak konplè ke kominote sa a ap kontinye egziste. Chanjman, tankou lanmò ak taksasyon, se yon konstan. Sa pral rive. Men, èske nou ka browse chanjman sa a nan plezi pou moun, jis bay moun, ouvè a moun olye ke moun san konte? Apre sa, mwen panse ke kominote a Simedford se trè, trè pasyan ak toleran. Koulye a, sa a pa vle di nou pa santi yo epi pale sou li. Natirèlman nou pral fè sa. Men, fason nou fè sa pa rekòmande pou moun ki ap vini yo, yo pral elimine. Yo pral revoke.
[Crossman]: Absoliman kòrèk. Wi, sant sa a, li nan youn nan bagay ki pi bon sou sant la, epi nou se youn nan sekrè yo pi byen kenbe. Malerezman, moun ki deside sou sant la anvan yo menm jwenn isit la. Mwen te tande anpil bagay sou moun ki pa janm te isit la. Sa a li. Ane sa a, nou reyèlman vle louvri pòt ou a bay moun bon, vin wè tèt ou, konnen lòt moun ak jije tèt ou. Jis paske ou antre nan espas sa a ak wè moun nwa ak mawon sou mi yo, sa a ap diminye. Pa gen moun ki kite. Epi, ou konnen, si ou antre, santi yon bagay epi santi w anndan, ou konnen, Se konsa, sa a se yon bagay nou gen yo rive jwenn nwayo a. Nou dwe pale. Nou dwe travay di. Se konsa, ou santi ou alèz isit la paske ou konnen, li te ak toujou se yon espas konfòtab.
[Terry Carter]: Wi. Wi. Mwen toujou santi li. Li gaye nan kominote nou an ak chanjman sa a (men soti nan Medford) rete kritik. Nou pa t 'kapab chita epi di pa gen anyen. Nou dwe di sa ki te pase paske si nou pa fè sa, okenn lòt moun ta fè li. Pa gen lòt moun ki chita pale, e pa gen yon sèl tradisyonèlman pale ak kominote a Simedford e li dwe pale sou li. Nou toujou gen sa a, espesyalman paske tout chanjman sa yo rive bò kote nou, se konsa moun konnen ki moun nou ye, ki sa nou vo, epi nou dwe pale sou tèt nou. Mwen panse ke li se Li se yon koupe soti nan ti bebe w la, se konsa yo pale. Kominike defi sa a bay moun epi ou bezwen pale sou li. Ki sa ou te di sou sa. Si ou panse li bon, move, oswa frèt, ou ta dwe di yon bagay sou li.
[Crossman]: Sa a se vre. Sa a se vre. Youn nan karakteristik inik nan sant sa a se sant kominotè a, pa vre? Sa a se yon òganizasyon san bi likratif. Li pa gide pa vil la. Sa a se pa yon plan vil la. epi koresponn ak kominote a pou pran swen tèt ou. Pa gen pwoblèm ki moun ki di ke, sa a se travay la nan sant kominotè a. Ou konnen, si ou se nan kominote a Medford, li depann sou ede ou pran swen nan li. Apre sa, li jis chita pale, ou konnen, konsèp sa a pi wo ou konnen kite tout bagay, kite travay ak pèmèt estrès la ale, tout bagay sa yo pran swen youn ak lòt epi asire w ke tout moun ap fè byen ak anrejistre, epi ou konnen yo, yo pa sanble yo wè sa ki nan bòl yon lòt moun nan, men asire w ke yo gen ase. Ou konnen, nou bezwen tounen nan sa a kalite espas, epi mwen pa defi nenpòt ki moun. Mwen jis di mwen pa rete isit la. M ap viv nan Malden, èske w konnen sa mwen vle di? Mwen pa gen okenn vòt isit la, mwen pa gen anyen. Pitit gason m 'ak mwen te isit la pou yon tan long ak li pa nan kominote nou an, li la nou tankou kominote nou yo ak nou espere rès la nan Medford fè menm bagay la, dwa? Tan, lajan, enèji, efò, tout bagay ou dwe bay, bay yon ti kras.
[Terry Carter]: Wi, mwen pral defi li nan yon sèten mezi ak mwen pral netralize li lè ou di li pa kominote ou. Paske mwen panse ke si ou mande yon moun ki soti nan ansyen mwen yo ke yo te chèf fanmi mwen yo, Ou konnen, pa nan mitan ansyen ou yo. Ou gen, lwaye, ou konnen. Men, yo ta di sa a se youn nan nou, li se yon pati nan nou. Apre sa, mwen panse ke tout moun vle ba ou konfò nan Vanguard la nan sant kominotè a, ki se vrèman unik pou mwen. Ou konnen, nou dwe tounen anpil Nan yon sèl kote, nou ka lonje dwèt sou yon sant lidèchip ak di moun yo konprann. Yo reyèlman konprann. Sa pa vle di nou pa gen okenn moun. Nou gen bon moun k ap travay nan sant kominotè yo. Men, mwen panse konsansis la nan moun yo mwen pale ak, moun yo mwen planifye yo dwe, li konprann. Se konsa, mwen pa santi yo tris lè yo inyore m 'regilyèman epi ale tou dwat nan biwo ou, dwa? Se pa yon bagay-wo fen? Yo pa ta dwe pale avè m '? Men, sa sèlman montre ke gen yon sèten nivo nan konfò ki te rive, sa vle di gen plizyè èg ke mwen pa pral mansyone non an, men moun ki konnen ki moun mwen ap pale de. Sa pap rive. Nivo sa a nan konfò pa janm yo pral reyalize. Ankò, nou gen yon plon segondè, se konsa mwen pa pral jwe nenpòt moun ki anba otobis la. Men, si yo pèdi otobis la ak wou yo.
[Crossman]: Wi, yo trè zanmitay. Pitit gason m 'te ale nan yon sèl la Sentespri. Loraj. Se konsa, chak jou, mwen ranmase l '. Ou konnen, nou depanse lajan isit la. Ann achte manje pou Walgreens e nou te pran tren an nan Boston. Se konsa, nou se yon pati nan kominote a.
[Terry Carter]: Absoliman. Wi, mwen vle di, mwen konnen, li pa sekrè, mwen ap viv nan Randolph. Mwen vini isit la nan travay kèk jou nan yon semèn, men mwen gen yon moun nan matant Monument Street mwen sou Mystic River Road, dwa? epi enstwi majistra a pou li pa travay nan vil la. Lè sa a, ... Mwen pa janm te santi tankou mwen pa te gen okenn plas nan Medford. Apre sa, mwen panse Medford reyèlman pa santi ke fason, oswa li pa paske yo te yon powèt ki pa janm rive anvan. Yo ta di, OK, ou pa menm ap viv nan Medford. Men, li evidan ke yo panse mwen ajoute ase valè nan yon bagay ki ka di, bon, gwo.
[Crossman]: Mwen dwe di mwen te nan Malden pou sèt ane, men mwen pa an kontak. Mwen menm te travay nan Malden Y. Mwen santi mwen tankou pa gen okenn koneksyon la, men absoliman 100% mwen santi mwen tankou li se isit la. Se konsa, wi, ki pral pale, ou konnen, ou konnen, mwen konnen, mwen santi mwen nan kay la. Pitit gason m 'santi l nan kay la. Ou konnen l '. Tout moun te janti avèk li. Bonjou, moun ki di nan lari a. Se konsa, wi, li te di anpil.
[Terry Carter]: Wi. trè bon. trè bon. Oke, sa a se yon moman enspire. Li evidan, nou ka fè li pou kèk èdtan. Yon kèk jou, ou menm ak mwen te antre nan li jan ou kalme isit la. Nou te pale de yon anpil nan bagay sa yo. Men, mwen vle ba ou yon dènye mo. Ann chanje bagay sa yo nan yon minit. Men, ki sa ki lide mwen kite nou? Kisa ou vle moun konnen?
[Crossman]: Oke, mwen espere ke moun konnen sa mwen pral di, Medford, plis oswa mwens, ou konnen, reveye. Reveye epi patisipe nan vil ou. Ou gen anpil opòtinite. Gen opòtinite pou travay. Gen opòtinite komisyon. Epi ou bezwen ale nan. Ou ka konekte. Ou ka wè rale a. Ou gen opòtinite pou yo gade ak evalye tèt ou nan yon fason mwen pa janm vinn, e mwen prèske di, tankou yon entèvyou travay, dwa? Moun ki evalye wòl sa yo. Ou bay anpil moun ki pa konnen sa k ap pase, ak konvèsasyon ki disponib nan règleman enfòmasyon ou yo pral afekte ou, vwazen ou yo ak pitit ou yo nan lavni. Sa ki enpòtan se Bay kèk tan. Si fwa yo pa travay, pale ak di yon bagay. Chèn la sèvi ou. Mwen dwe bay Brianna anpil. Li chita, koute epi li louvri wout la kominikasyon. Li ap mete chèk sa yo ak counterweights. Li reponn a tout li yo ak Imèl li. Se konsa, ou konnen, pa gen okenn eskiz yo reveye ak patisipe. Komite a gen anpil pòs vid. Gen anpil lèt Travay ki dwe fèt. Epi, nou pa sèlman ap pale de evènman enpresyonan ak bagay sa yo. Nou ap pale de travay reyèl politik. Lè sa a, mwen ta di li leve Medford ak te patisipe. Si ou pa konnen, mande yon moun, rele konsèy vil la epi chèche konnen. Men, nou bezwen ranpli pozisyon sa yo ak de oswa twa moun oswa Menm moun ki gen menm opinyon an sou ane yo. Li lè yo enjekte kèk kontwòl ak counterweights. Li se tan yo defi kèk ide ki egziste ak enplike lòt manm nan kominote a.

[Sumner]: Wow, thank you, thank you, thank you. So let me say, it's an honor to be here. I've never been in this building, never been in this space. And we were watching the live stream upstairs. So Miss Lisa, we have some things in common. I play ball. I used to coach basketball. I stopped at refereeing. But I'm so honored to be here at the beginning of Black History Month. And can I just say, I am thrilled to see bodies in these chairs. I was praying for the best, but ready to prepare for the worst. I was going to sing to my husband. And I was like, it's OK. And the cameraman, and we were just going to get our little thing going on. But you guys, we are going to make this worth your trek in the polar tundra, OK? So thank you so much for coming out. And if it's okay with you, we're going to take like a little musical history tour. Is that all right? I thought so. And so I want you to feel free to chime in and jump in. We might learn something. So as the narrator at the House of Blues, now I actually worked at the original House of Blues, the blue house in Cambridge. Any of y'all ever gone to that one? Yes. Did you ever come to the gospel brunch? Yes. If it was a female, it was probably me. I used to have dreadlocks, honey, the gray. It's a new look. But that was me so most likely um, so it's been a blessing to do this. I'm an educator I love it and I love engaging kids with music and things So we're gonna take a little history tour because I learned some things and I'm hoping we all learn some things tonight and enjoy the music as we go so Yeah, Mark, we've been around the world, y'all, but it's good. New England, too, but we've been some places, especially Mark. So we're going to start off by thinking about, you know, enslaved Africans came here early, you know, 1500s, they documented in the 1600s. And what happened was when enslaved Africans first came here, the first music that they really shared or participated in what's called work songs or field hollers because, you know, that gave them some energy and camaraderie with the folks who were working the lines with them. And then after the field hollers, what came next really was spirituals. So we're going to start off with a little spiritual. And this is one that has a multiple meaning because, you know, Wade in the Water, when enslaved people were escaping, you gave messages in the music because you weren't allowed to really talk to each other. So we had to use talking drums to give messages. And then they try to take away the drums. So we're like, OK, well, we can make rhythm with whatever we got. But the song is Wade in the Water. And I'm going to try to stay cute without my glasses. Last Tuesday, I turned 60, so I might just keep it 100 if I need to. If I need to, just trust me. But anyway, so the song goes a little like this, and there's a message in the music. It said, wait in the water. Wait in the water, children, wait in the water. God's going to trouble the water. See that host all dressed in white? God's going to trouble the water. The leader looks like the Israelite. God's going to trouble the water. Wait in the water. You can sing if you want to. Wait in the water, children. Wait in the water. God's going to trouble the water. see that band all dressed in red God's gonna trouble the water it looks like the band that Moses led God's gonna trouble the world if you know it sing it come on Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y'all sound good. Y' If you don't believe I've been redeemed, God's gonna trouble. Just follow me down to the Jordan stream. God's gonna trouble. All right, big finish, everybody. Let's sing. Wade in the water. Wade in the water, children. Wade in the water. God's gonna trouble the water. I said God's gonna trouble. Keep on moving. God's gonna trouble. Keep on believing. God's gonna trouble. Don't give up because God's gonna trouble the water. Yeah. Yes. So one of the things we have to, we tell young people and they don't want to believe it, but all the American music forms originated from the blues, to keep it real. Like we didn't deal with classical, but country, all of that came out of a foundation of the blues. And so, you know, we went from spirituals and we have the blues. And now the blues originated in the deep South around the 1890s, 1860s. Okay, here we go. It's early. I had to go early. I know. So we incorporated spirituals, and work songs, and field hollers, and shouts, and chants, and rhymes, simple narratives from the African-American culture. Now there are many different types of blues, including country blues, delta blues, and classic blues. which usually featured women out in front of bands such as Legends, Ma Rainey, and Bessie Smith. And they were the first real recorded artists to really, their music went national because music started being charted and recorded. And so we're going to do this classic blues song called Backwater Blues. And this song was really about the, it was written in 1927, released in 1927. in response to the Great Mississippi Flood. Anybody ever heard of that? The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927? Just one? Well, here we go. Can y'all hear me okay? We're gonna learn some things tonight. You heard of this? Okay, listen. This was terrible. So in 1927, it was the most destructive river flood in the history of the U.S. 27,000 square miles were depths of up to 30 feet over a course of several months. So this was bad. And approximately 500 people died. I'm surprised more people didn't die, but maybe there weren't that many living. I don't know. But anyway, this was Bessie Smith, and this is Backwater Blues. And y'all are so good, I might give y'all some choreography. Here we go. When it rained five days and the skies turned dark as night, yeah. When it rained five days and the skies turned dark as night, yeah. There's trouble taking place in the lowlands at night. I woke up this morning, can't even get out of my door, no, no. I woke up this morning, can't even get out of my door, no, no. There's enough trouble to make a poor girl wonder where she wanna go. Can I put your hands up and be my thunder and lightning? When it thunders and lightning and the winds begin to blow. Come on, thunder. Come on, lightning. When it thunders and lightning and the winds begin to blow, yeah. There's thousands of people and ain't got no place to go. Now, can y'all clap your rhythm? Here we go. Try this. Backwater blues, don't call me to pack my things and go. Yeah. ♪ Blackwater blues, don't call me to pack my things and go, yeah ♪ ♪ Cause my house fell down and I can't live there no more, no more ♪ Yeah. listen again i'm grateful to be here this is the first time i've been able to sing in a little while because these little viral things that are going around the ones that ain't covet they can kick you just as hard y'all know that right and they hold on for a long time so stay well stay well vitamin c all the good stuff you need to do um so this is that was the blues And now you know right after the blues, and even at the same time as the blues, jazz. Any of y'all jazz fans? I know, I know, right? So now jazz, it's a type of music of African-American origin, of course, characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm. Excuse me. Instrumentation is often brass, woodwind instruments, and piano. And a standard rhythm section would often be comprised of keyboards, a bass, and some drums. So we thought y'all might appreciate this little ditty by Duke Ellington. And you might have heard it with one of my favorite singers of all time that I did not even hear about till I went to college. A little lady named Ella Fitzgerald. Y'all remember her? All right. So y'all so good, if you want to jump right in, you just... And y'all are going to get to hear Mr. Copeland, the maestro, kill up on this piano, all right? It's called a dominant thing if it ain't got that swing, if y'all ain't figured out yet. All right, here we go. It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop. It don't mean a thing. All you gotta do is sing. Do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop, do-wop. It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot. I just give that rhythm everything you've got. I dip it out and do it, don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It don't mean a thing, give it up for Mark, if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot. Just give that rhythm everything you've got. I mean a thing if it ain't got that swing. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, yeah. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, one more time. Do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I, do I. Yeah. Woo! Woo! You have no idea. I'm so excited. I really thought it was going to be me and my husband. Y'all are not only here, but you are singing. Y'all are vibing. This is going to be fun. Let's keep it going. OK. So of course, there's spirituals, there's blues, there's jazz. And at the same time, what was happening was gospel was kicking it in the background. Because gospel is really just spirituals and blues put together. How many of y'all know that? because the father of gospel music his name was Thomas A Dorsey and he was a jammer in the blues okay but his he got his heart broken his wife and his child died in childbirth and this song that he wrote was actually as a response to his extreme heartbreak but it became known as one of the like like I feel like it's the funeral song now. And this was one of Dr. King's favorite songs. In fact, Mahalia Jackson sang it at his funeral. Anybody know what song this is? Come on. Talk back to me. Y'all don't know, really? We just learning a lot here. Text in the mail, huh? Say it. Mahalia Jackson sang it. That's one of her major ones. Yeah, but no, y'all. Precious Lord. Precious Lord, take my hand. lead me on let me stand I'm tired I'm weak And I'm worn through the storm, through the night. lead me on to the light. Take my hand. Precious Lord, and lead Yeah, we're going to stop there. Because I don't want to start. Yeah. Yes, Lord. Yes. So Precious Lord actually came out in 1932. So that was right around the Harlem Renaissance. That was right around that time. And this is one of my favorite. jazz standards but I did a little research and this was written by Billie Holiday and it was funny because she wrote it in response to asking her mother for some money or something like that knowing that she had supplied a lot of what her mother had her mother was like I ain't giving you nothing and she said well God bless the child that's got his own I said you know what that sounds like a good uh lyric to a song and it goes like this Them that's got shall have. Them that's not shall lose. So the Bible says, and it still isn't news, said your mama may have and your papa may have, but God bless the child who's got his own, who's got his own. Well, the strong gets more while the weak ones fade. Empty pockets don't ever make the grave. Said your mama may have, papa may have it too, but God bless the child who's got her own, who's got her own. Money, you've got lots of friends hanging around your door. But when it's gone and your spending ends, they don't come around, ain't gonna come around, don't seem to know you no more. Rich relations, they're going to give a crust of bread and such. You can help yourself, but you better not take too much. Said your mama may have, and your papa may have, but God bless the child who's got his own. God bless the child who's got her own. God bless the child who's got his own. Who's got his own. Thank you so much. So this next song is a gospel song technically, but it was written originally as a children's song back in 1933. But it became a civil rights song. It came to be, I think, first came into prominence sung by Sam Cooke, believe it or not, in 1964. And this is like one of my anthems, because my mission, I say that I want to be light and provide love and laughter through music, education, and care. But anyway, I believe we are all light. And so you can sing this with a two-year-old. You can sing this with a 102-year-old. And for me, it still has significance, because we are all a light. Some might be a little flashlight. Some might be a high beam light. Some might be a whatever. We're gonna have to give it a, so we can, let's see, what beat can we give this? I wish my husband could play something for me. Pull out the tambourine, honey. All right, here we go. So here's a little rhythm lesson. It's on the two and the four. So if you're rhythmically challenged, I still love you, but I'm gonna help you out, okay? So you're gonna tap your foot on the one and clap on the two. Here we go, try this. You're gonna go stomp, clap. There we go. Come on. Stomp, clap. You got it. Stomp, clap. Stomp, clap. If y'all can try to hang in there with that. Thank you, honey. Here we go. This little light of mine. Come on and sing. I'm going to let it. This little light. This little light of mine. Sing it like you mean it. I'm going to let it shine. This little light. I'm going to let it. I'm going to let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Come on, everybody. Sing, everywhere that I go, everywhere I go, I'm going to let it shine. Everywhere I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. Oh, everywhere I go, I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let's do one more verse. You can't blow it up. You can't blow it up. I made this up. I'm gonna, I'm gonna let it shine. You can't blow it up. You can't blow it up. I'm gonna, I'm gonna. You can't blow it. You can't blow it. I'm going to let it. I'm going to let it. Let's finish up. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Sing let it shine. Let it shine. One more time. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. Let it shine. All right, here comes another little history lesson. Let's see if y'all know it. I was going to bring candy and give it out, but I was like, ain't nobody going to want no candy. But anyway, here you are. Again, I'm so excited. This is a song that was first actually written by this amazing Black woman. But you know how it happened back in the day. Black people write an amazing song. And then somebody not Black decides that, ooh, I'd be liking that. And so they're like, let me do this. And then everybody going to like it. And I'm going to make a lot of money. And we never seem to remember who the other person was. So I'm going to sing it by the first person. And I won't even tell you who it is. And I'm going to ask y'all to tell me who it was, see if you know it, all right? Here we go. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, been snooping around my door. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, been snooping around my door. You can wag your tail, but I ain't going to feed you no more. You told me you were high class. I could see through that. Yes, you told me you were high class, but I could see you through that. And daddy, I know you ain't no real cool cat. You ain't nothing but a hound dog. I've been snooping around the door. You're just an old nasty hound dog. I've been snooping around my door. So you can wag your tail, but I ain't gonna feed you no more. Get on out of here. All right. Who knows? Million dollar question. Who was that? No. That might have been somebody in this century that did it. But the first person. Yeah, go say that. Right. Big Mama Thornton. Yes, yes. You get to have some snacks. They're right in there. Just for you, that's okay. Even if you cheated, listen, you got the right answer. So it's, yes, it's all good. But this might be the version y'all recognize. Remember this one? You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. You ain't nothing but a hound dog, crying all the time. Well, you ain't never in a rabbit hole, ain't no friend of mine. That's enough of him. All right. Black History Month. Y'all know who that was. But you know what? I saw the movie. He grew up around a lot of black folks. No wonder he sounded black. Y'all see that movie? I was like, oh, that makes sense. He was all shouting at church and everything. Would you say he was really black? Oh, he thought he was. Oh, OK. I was like, woo. I was like, woo, somebody got some tea up in here about Elvis. I didn't know that one. All right, so we're going to move a little bit forward. But what'd you say? I love this. It's just like my class. It's like class, you know? Yeah, that's right. Interactive. You know, whoever talks the most learns the most. So I want to hear y'all. So we move up through. All right, so let me see. So next coming up was kind of like what's called R&B. So that was kind of like blues combination with rock, because Elvis became more of a rock kind of song. But in the late 50s, 1950s and 60s, now we got to say the 19 in front of it. Ain't that crazy? Some of us have been alive for a while. You got to put all four numbers. OK. All right. What year were you born? I'm like, OK. Wow, OK. In the late 1950s and 60s, a new sound was spreading across America. That was called soul music. And actually, soul music is like a combination of rhythm and blues and the gospel vocal style. Now, this music spoke to the heart and moved the soul. Now, over in Detroit, Michigan, there was something called Motown happening. Barry Gordy was a brilliant producer, writer. And he was like, we're going to turn this thing out and make it excellent. And we're going to make it. enough that it can cross over and everybody can like this music. So this first song we're gonna do was by a Motown artist. And this was actually their number, this was their first number one song. And it came out in, let's see, it came out in 1965. It was their first number one hit. I know y'all know this and you can at least give me a little sway. Here we go. Come on y'all, here we go, come on, here we go. If you know it, come on, sing it. I've got sunshine on a cloudy day. Oh, I can hear everybody in the choir singing. All right, when it's cold, when it's cold outside. I've got the month of May. Sounds good, y'all. Come on, let's sing it. Well, I guess you'll say, you'll say, what can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl, talking about you. I've got so much honey, the bees envy me. got a sweeter song than the bees in the trees. Come on, y'all. Sing along with me. Well, I guess you say, what can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl, talking about my girl. All right, we should probably end it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. I haven't had to talk and sing at the same time in a long time, y'all. Hold on. This is when you say, OK, open up your notebook to this page here, and y'all work it out for the next five minutes. But hold on. I had to go with my. my sister known as the Queen of Soul, as the 1960s brought protest songs and protest music. This song was originally, became famous by Otis, well, he wrote it. Otis Redding wrote this song, but she took it and just like, so most people assume it's her song, but there actually was someone else who put it out first, but we give RiRi all the credit for this one, y'all ready? I'm getting a little, What you want? Baby, I got it. What you need? Do you know I got it? And all I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home. Hey, baby, when you come home, mister, I ain't gonna do you wrong. Why you gone? I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't want to. And all I'm asking is for a little respect when you come home. Baby, when you get home. Now. I'm about to give you all my money. And all I'm asking in return, honey, is give me my purpose when you get home. Baby, when you get home. Now. If y'all know it, come on and sing with me. Ooh, your kisses sweeter than honey. And guess what? So is my money. And all I want you to do for me is bring it to me when you get home. Baby, whip it to me when you get home. Hey, come on, sing along with me. Say R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. What? Take care of T-C-P-L. My little respect. Oh, a little respect. Hey, I get tired. I keep on trying. Said you're running on a full line. I need your respect. When you get home, I know that I want it. Respect. When you get home, come and go back to the bridge. Try it again. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me. R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Take care of TCP. Oh, yeah. Respect. Hey. Woo. Yes, yes, yes, yes. We having us a good old time. I'm having a good time, y'all. I'm having a good time. I feel like you're at my private party here, and we're just jamming. All right. So you know the 60s was a time of protesting, and songs were coming out in the 60s about what was going on in the world. And this is a song that was written in protest to the Vietnam War. And I know y'all are of the right generation to know where we going with this. Our brother Marvin. If you know, y'all can sing along. Here we go. Mother, mother, there's too many of you crying. Brother, brother, brother, there's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way. to bring some loving here today. Father, Father, we don't need to escalate. You see, war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate. You know we've got to find a way. to bring some lovin' here today. Sisters is first. Picket line, sister. And picket sign, sister. Don't punish me with brutality. Come on, talk to me so we can see what's going on. What's going on. Tell me what's going on. What's going on? Hey. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, yeah. Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong. Oh, but who are they to judge us? Simply because our hair is long. I love when I have my long dreadlocks, but what can I say? You know, we've got to find a way to bring some understanding. here today. Now say, brother, picket lines, brother, and picket signs. Don't punish me with brutality. Come on, talk to me. So you can see what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on, what's going on. I want to know what's going on. Yeah. I got to make some choices. Let's see. Well, you know what? Let's do Bill Withers because I love that song. It just makes me happy. When I wake up in the morning. It's always a blessing to have some feel good music and Bill Withers. He was a master songwriter, Grandma's Hands. And this is a really beautiful song that I've seen after-school kids do this with little sticks and shakas. And my granddaughter, who's 18 months, loves this song. So this is a universal favorite. So I hope it blesses your heart, too. And it goes something like this. When I wake up in the morning, love, And the sunlight hurts my eyes. And something without warning, love, hangs heavy on my mind. But then I look at you, and the world's all right with me. Ooh, just one look at you, and I know it's going to be, if you know it, jump on in, a lovely day. Thank you, Christian, for backing me up. A lovely day. A lovely day. When the day that lies ahead of me seems impossible to face. When someone else instead of me always seems to know the way. But baby, but then I look at you, yeah, and the world's all right with me. Just one look at you and I know it's gonna be a lovely day. A lovely day. A lovely day. Hey, hey, hey, it's gonna be a lovely day. Yeah. So yes. So I didn't know what the crowd might be in terms of demographics, but we're going to go here because it's a teachable moment. So did y'all know like back in the 70s, so that was 77. But in 1978, there was a group called Chic, and they brought out this hit. called Good Times. Do y'all remember that? Do y'all remember that song? But here's the thing, right? We're going to consolidate time, because we want you to understand how there were these young kids in New York City, and they were like scratching with turntables and all that good stuff. And they started sampling before you had to ask permission. And they just, they took this hit by, Chic. So just to remind you what it sounded like, this is the hit that came out by Chic. If you know this, raise your hand. It goes like this. Good times. These are the good times. Yeah. Leave your cares behind. Leave your hands. These are the good times. Come on, if you know it, sing it, because we need some more good times around here. Good times. All right, got some dances. Come on, y'all. These are the good times. All new state of mind. These are the good times. But y'all know what happened, right? So this is what it became. I said a hip, a hop, to hip it, to hip it, to the hip, hip hop. And you don't stop rocking to the bang, bang, boogie. Say up, jump, to the rhythm of the boogity beat. Ha! And now what you hear is not a text that I'm rapping to the beat. And me, the groove, and my friends are going to try to move your feet. You see, I am, I say Special K, and I like to say hello to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple, and yellow. But first, I got to bang, bang the boogie to the boogie. So up, jump the boogie to the bang, bang boogie. Let's rock. You don't stop. Rock the rhythm that'll make your body rock. Yeah. Woo-hoo! Yes! Yes, hunty! So that song was released in 79, but on March, not March, whoo, January 5th, 1980, that, Rapper's Delight became the first hip hop single to reach the Billboard Top 40. That was huge, that was huge, huge, huge. And it signaled that hip hop ain't going anywhere. Rap and hip hop, as much as people said, oh, it's a fad, guess what, y'all, that was 1980. It's 2023, it's still rocking. And it became the top three in the UK. And guess what, honey? It was number one in Canada. My husband went to college in Canada. We have a great passion for Canada. We love Canada. All right, so we coming down to the end, y'all. But I want to do one last song because this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm a big, big, big Stevie Wonder fan. I saw Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin when I was like nine years old at the Boston Garden is what it was called at the time. And I just said, when I grow up, I want to sing background vocals for Stevie Wonder. And I, oh Jesus, do I not have the lyrics? I'm gonna fake my way through this one. Okay. That's frightening. Okay. I mean, I've sung it a few times, but you know, it's different when you gotta stand up and fake it. Well, you know, we gonna make it work. We gonna make it do what it do, baby, okay? And I always said I wanted to be Aretha Franklin at that time, but Aretha had a rough life, so I'm thankful that that didn't happen, and I wanted to sing background for Stevie Wonder. So we just gonna sing a little bit of this and send us on our way, and just know that I'll be loving you for always. My husband and I, we've been married for 37 years. Yes, 37. Now, you know what? I'm just, I can't believe that I do not have this on, but you know what we're about to do? Because you know there's a friend of mine called Google, and he just, he just, ooh, he just makes things happen, y'all. So, can you believe that? Of all my songs, this is my favorite song. That's probably why I didn't bother to put it on it, because I thought I could fake it, but no, uh-uh, baby. We're going to get Stevie right. So yes, it's called As. And we had this played at our 25th wedding anniversary. And we're going to have it played at our 50th, baby, because we're going to make it. We just got to stay alive. Staying alive, staying alive. All right. Here we go. I hope it's a blessing to you. We slowed it down a little bit. As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving, and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May. Just as hate knows love's the cure, you can rest your mind assured that I'll be loving you always. As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow But in passing we'll grow older every day Just as all that's born is new You know what I say is true That I'll be loving you always Until the ocean covers every mile I need y'all help here Always, until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea. Always, until we dream of life and life becomes a dream. Did you know that true love asks for nothing? See, this is a mess. Why are you getting on Google? The acceptance is the way we pay. They skipped a verse, but it's all good. Did you know that life has given love a guarantee to last through forever and another day? Just as time knew to move on since the beginning, and the seasons know exactly when to change. Come on, spring, please. Know through all your joy and pain that I'll be loving you always. Another verse. As today I know I'm living, but tomorrow could make me the past, but that I mustn't fear. For I'll know deep in my mind the love of me I've left behind, because I I'll be loving you always. Get ready. Until the days and seas just stop and fly away. Always. Until the day that 8 times 8 times 8 is 4. Always. Until the day that is the days that are no more. Always.
