There’s nothing I can say that would make any difference about the horrific events of this past week, but our dear, dear friend of LAByrinth, BENJA K THOMAS (Queen Sugar in “Halfway Bitches Go Straight to Heaven”) created this beautiful piece, and so I leave it to her…xok

“In memory of #RyanCharlesTwyman, #AltonSterling, #MedgarEvers, #MalcolmX, #MartinLKing, Emmett Till, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and all the Black and Brown men and women who were taken from us too soon to racism and hatred. WHEN WILL IT STOP! Words by Toni Morrison from the book "Beloved" Ella's Song was written by Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, sung by #CharlesReese and @JustineJHall.  Original music was written by Chris R. Benjamin. This is a Luben Production along with Michele Balwin Ent. Thank you for watching!.”  -Benja K.
