This story gives a whole new slant to the phrase "Make America Great Again" doesn't it? I should send a copy to my favorite local politician, Ron DeSantis.

In the end Thelonious Monk prevailed... - musetap 16:00:27 08/21/23 (2)
An American Music Legend and Icon, a brilliant composer, pianist, bandleader.

His music speaks for itself.

Always, his own man, he'll long be remembered after all the racist assholes and
tools of a damaged society that tried to break him have faded into the oblivion they
belong in. It's horrible the suffering he and so many endured just to... live.

MONK LIVES!!!!

What a stinging indictment of our country.
Happy Listening
It's a disgrace. Among many. - jusbe 11:38:21 08/21/23 (0)
The USA - a country of beautiful people, in many respects - continues to perpetuate these discriminatory practices and puts responsibility on victim communities to solve them.

Thanks for posting this, even if it is very difficult to read and reflect on.
