Network of Social Justice, Winchester Historical Society, and the Winchester Anti-Racism Solidarity Collective commemorated the 160th anniversary of Frederick Douglass' visit to Winchester's Lyceum Hall via a zoom program. Dr. Ellen Knight gave opening remarks before introducing Douglass historian Nathan Richardson. The event finished with an interactive discussion led by members of the Anti-Racism Solidarity Collective.   Jazz pianist Jonathan Fagan and Medford's Poet Laureate Terry E. Carter shared their collaborative "Ally Project" as part of WCMS's 40th anniversary faculty concert series. Carter's powerful words, together with Fagan's arrangements and improvised accompaniments, provided an emotional lens through which to process the themes of racial justice, cultural heritage, and family that Carter poignantly emphasizes throughout his work. They were joined by guest artists Greg Toro on bass and John Dalton on drums.
