Memorial Day’s roots trace back to May 1, 1865, when formerly enslaved Black Americans and a regiment of Union troops in Charleston, South Carolina, organized a massive parade and dedication to honor 257 Union prisoners of war who had died in a Confederate prison camp.

Community members exhumed and reburied the soldiers before organizing a public commemoration attended by thousands. Through flowers, songs, prayer, and procession, they created one of the earliest known Decoration Day commemorations.

For many Black Americans, represents more than just remembrance. It is also liberation, sacrifice, and historical truth.

As conversations around history continue to be reshaped and contested, also serves as a reminder to protect the truth of our narratives and honor the people and stories too often erased from them.

August Wilson's plays always spark deep conversation and thought. And on Wednesday, we did just that.

Alongside our partners at Long Wharf Theater, we were pleased to go back to our roots and host a small community conversation: Wilson Narrated: Black Identity Under White Institutions.

We were reminded that storytelling is not passive — it is a force that asks us to confront history, systems, and ourselves.

We explored how racism, capitalism, and patriarchy operate similarly within each scene of 'Fences' and 'Two Trains Running.' These forces continuously pull, shape, distort, and influence the lives, choices, and relationships of the characters. Wilson’s work does not isolate these systems; it reveals how they coincide and collide.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined!
Looking forward to more powerful conversations like these!

Community Justice Action Fund is a national, Black-led organization working at the intersection of gun violence prevention and racial justice. Their work saves lives — and the stories behind that work deserve to be told with care, intention, and proximity.

Proud to have supported a powerful evening in Bridgeport alongside our partners at CT Against Gun Violence.

From the screening of Death by Numbers to a conversation with the film's writer and director, the night centered exactly the kind of community-driven dialogue that moves people — and policy — forward.

Grateful to organizations like Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence for showing up in this work. This is what partnership looks like.

Congratulations to the entire CAGV team and board for creating space for a necessary conversation about the real-world impact of gun violence. We're honored to be in the room — and in this fight — with you.

Storytime: Before perfectionism was a productivity buzzword, it was an ideology. The belief in a perfect people — pure, precise, superior — shaped institutions, aesthetics, professional standards, and, most recently, body fascism.

When we name perfectionism as a tool of white supremacist culture, we're not being provocative. We're being precise.
