Carolyn will be featured in an event: “Flowers Now!” a performance and an awards ceremony honoring the contributions of a generation who helped build the Black Arts Movement and happen to call the Twin Cities home. She will be honored during the event along with Donald and Faye Washington, Jean Ann Durades, Babatunde Lea, Douglas R. Ewart, Janis Lane Ewart, Seitu Jones, Ta-coumba Aiken and Louis Alemayehu, community elders who have left a distinct impact on the artistic culture of cities in the upper midwest. We gather to honor their work as beloved institution-builders, teachers, mentors, philanthropists, and devotees of the artistic calling. The program will be hosted by renowned poet Tish Jones.
With performances by drummer Kevin Washington, flutist Nicole Mitchell and poet Louis Alemayehu.
Event sponsors include the University of Minnesota Libraries, Givens Collection of African American Literature and Life and KFAI Radio.
