📣 #Dance2Vote Spotlight: "Mississippi Goddam/Jazzing:Memoirs in Jazz" by @danseurlucas for @ballethnic!⁠
⁠
"Mississippi Goddam/Jazzing:Memoirs in Jazz" was created for an exhibit at the @thebremanmuseum that featured the work of Jewish photojournalist Herb Snitzer, who spent his career capturing the lives of jazz greats and the civil rights movement.⁠
⁠
🗣️ "We feel that courageous works like "Mississippi Goddam" reflect the spirit of the civil rights movement and encourage people to fight for democracy and rights." — Choreographer @danseurlucas/@ballethnic⁠
