Caro Flores Hine<p>Abro una noticia sobre el accidente aéreo en Honduras y me entero de la muerte de Aurelio Martínez, cantante garífuna.

Total Sonic Media<p>Just learned of the passing of Leon Lamont, a super talented drummer, producer, DJ and martial artist, and supremely cool and sweet person, who I got to hang with in NYC circa 1998 - 2000. I was just thinking about contacting him, as I recently dug up the mix file for a track we collaborated on back in 1998, that I am wanting to remaster and release digitally now. 55 is way too young to leave us, F cancer! Rest In Power Leon - thank you for the music and the friendship.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/restinpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restinpower</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/music" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>music</span></a></p>

Gladwyn d’Souza<p>It is impossible to separate liberation struggles from song. And in the 1960s — at marches, and in jailhouses — the voice leading those songs was often Bernice Johnson Reagon. Her work as a scholar and activist continued throughout her life, in universities and concert halls, at protests and in houses of worship… Her activism grew to encompass the anti-apartheid movement. She became a leading scholar of Black musical life. In 1974, she received a music history appointment at the Smithsonian; a year later, she added the title of Dr. after receiving a Ph.D. from Howard University; in 1989, she won a &quot;genius grant&quot; from the MacArthur Foundation. In 1994, she created a 26-part NPR documentarycalled Wade in the Water that won a Peabody award.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RestInPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RestInPower</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/07/17/1213897036/bernice-johnson-reagon-sweet-honey-in-the-rock-obituary" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">npr.org/2024/07/17/1213897036/</span><span class="invisible">bernice-johnson-reagon-sweet-honey-in-the-rock-obituary</span></a></p>

Kathleen Jones 🚲 🐋 🖌️⚾️<p>Reminder from Rep. John Lewis:</p><p>Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/GoodTrouble" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GoodTrouble</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RestInPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RestInPower</span></a></p>
