Wild Burning Rage and Song: Replies to Scottsboro
This concert and lecture revived Jewish artistic responses to the racial injustices behind the Scottsboro trials on Wednesday, November 6 at 6 p.m. at The Ark in Ann Arbor.
The Scottsboro trials stand as a notorious miscarriage of justice in American history—starting in 1931 with false rape charges against nine Black teenagers and sparking movements and artistic responses nationwide.
This world premiere combined Yiddish and English poems from the era, newly set to music, performed by Prof. Amelia Glaser, vocalists/composers Heather Klein and Anthony Russell, and composer/pianist Uri Schreter.
Presented by the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies at The Ark in Ann Arbor, the event was free, offering a powerful cultural exploration of the period's struggles and creative voices.
