SUMMARY:Wild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro
DESCRIPTION:The Scottsboro Trials stand as one of the most renowned miscarriages of justice in American history. Beginning in 1931 with a false accusation of rape against nine Black teenagers\, the case went on to invigorate the Civil Rights movement\, earn the international support of the Communist Party\, and establish itself as a watchword on the American Left. It inspired artistic reactions as well\, most famously by poets Langston Hughes and Richard Wright and novelist Harper Lee\, who adapted its events in To Kill A Mockingbird. \nThe international\, politically oriented Yiddish intelligentsia of the 30s was no less galvanized\, producing a body of responses that passionately took up the themes of the trial\, juxtaposing its American injustices with a diversity of images\, tropes\, and language imbued with their own distinct histories of oppression. \nWild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro brings this world alive as a concert-lecture featuring Professor Amelia Glaser\, author of Songs in Dark Times: Yiddish Poetry of Struggle from Scottsboro to Palestine; composer/vocalists Heather Klein and Anthony Russell; and composer/pianist Uri Schreter\, performing their new settings of Yiddish and English poetry written in response to the pervasive climate of race prejudice that gave birth to the Scottsboro trials— and to other injustices that would follow.
