Welcome to episode 8 of Minnesota Opera’s podcast THE SCORE! On this week’s episode, it’s June and we're all vaxxed up and ready see our people again. So we think it's high time for a little bit of celebration after such a long, dreadful year! First up, it's Pride Month all over the world, so it's time to give it up for all of our precious, beautiful LGBTQIA+ siblings! This week we’re having a good old-fashioned kiki at the top of the show with a chat about what Pride means to those of us sitting here at the intersection of Black and queer. Next, we turn the show over to Lee, who recently moderated a panel conversation, presented by The Dream Unfinished and The Harlem Chamber Players, called "Remembrance and Restitution." Lee talks with history professors Ashley Jackson, Ashleigh Lawrence-Sanders, and Jasmin A. Young all about the Tulsa Race Massacre as well as another upcoming celebration - Juneteenth - and their impacts on the past, present and future of Black Americans everywhere. And then, of course, as always we’ll send you into the weekend with a PB&J. This week we've got some local Black artists and a mighty engine for social justice that could use your support! Thanks for joining us and HAPPY PRIDE!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Hosts: Rocky Jones, Paige Reynolds Producer: Rocky Jones Timestamps: Talkin' 'Bout Pride - 01:06 "Remembrance and Restitution" Panel - 45:00 PB&J - 01:20:06 Links https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/combahee-river-collective-statement-1977/ (Combahee River Collective Statement) https://thedreamunfinished.org/ (The Dream Unfinished) https://www.harlemchamberplayers.org/ (Harlem Chamber Players) Pity These Ashes: Tulsa 1921-2021 (https://thegreenespace.org/event/pity-these-ashes-tulsa-100th-anniversary/ (RSVP Here)) Body Prayers (https://walkerart.org/magazine/program-notes-for-body-prayers (Walker Art Center)) https://www.artequity.org/ (ArtEquity)
