Just got the page proofs for an essay I wrote explicitly as a generative polemic on the politics of studying Black music (and people) in the academy titled: “‘Do You Hear Me, Though’: Guthrie Ramsey and the Politics of Black Music Inquiry. It is a tribute to his living legacy.

A truly memorable and inspiring gathering of amazing and gifted artists and scholars for Wake Forest Divinity's "Theological Improvisations"!

Truly amazing time. You're a gift. Thank you

I hope music studies scholars who write about Black Music read the essay I wrote in honor of Ramsey for the recent issue of American Music. I wrote it from a place of earnestness and truth, and I hold myself accountable to the same questions and ethics of care with Black study.

Watch the whole thing.

Deeply saddened by the passing of the great Hettie Jones, author, teacher, activist, + friend. We were honored to have her speak at the unveiling of our plaque on her home at 27 Cooper Sq., and to be able to honor her with an award in 2019. We’ll miss you: villagepreservation.org/2019/05/03/het…

We are sorry to learn of the death of poet Hettie Jones. We were proud to publish her book "Love, H" in 2016. Our thoughts go out to her family, especially her daughter, our author Kellie Jones. thevillagesun.com/hettie-jones-p… dukeupress.edu/love-h

Sorry to hear about the passing of Hettie Jones. Soon after first moving to #NYC in 1997, I read her #memoir How I Became Hettie Jones, released that year by Grove Atlantic. In New York, I saw her read from her book. Pic: Larry Keenan. groveatlantic.com/book/how-i-bec…

the summer I was 22yo, the brilliant funny generous Hettie Jones asked me to housesit for her in her homey, historic East Village apt. It was a great summer and I made a friend in Hettie. I understood quite well where my friends Lisa and Kellie got it. RIP to a real one 💜✊🏾💜
