| Abstract | This music video is a great educational and entertaining experience for Black HIstory Month that shows our greatest leaders have always been concerned about solidarity and linking our movement for freedom with human rights of ALL people. In 1867, only two years after the slavery ended in the U.S., Douglass spoke out against racism against Chinese and Japanese Americans. He argued that Chinese immigrants should be allowed to become citizens just like any other immigrants. He envisioned a "Composite Nation," a multi-racial, multicultural America that recognized human rights. He was way ahead of his time, but he is right on time for our understanding of solidarity and compassion for ourselves and others. This music video sets the excerpts from Frederick Douglass's "Composite Nation" speech to "Joseph Pierce" an original work by jazz giant Francis Wong. Performed by: Amanda Kemp, Vocals Michael Jamanis ,Violin Francis Wong, Tenor Saxophone Matt Woodson, Percussion Text from 1867 "Composite Nation" Speech. |
