INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we preview a new concert series that focuses on social justice issues.

Called Jazz & Justice, the free monthly concerts are aimed to create a community conversation around matters such as Prison Reform, Human Trafficking and Racial Reconciliation.

We welcome to the show Peter TeWinkle, pastor of Hope Church on Kalamazoo Avenue, who will describe the Jazz & Justice events, including the very next one set for tomorrow evening, Sat., Nov. 15. This next concert will look at the issue of Immigration Reform, during an evening of music from local band Grupo Aye.

MUSIC

Michigan-made music featured in this episode of Catalyst Radio comes from Grupo Aye – performing in tomorrow night’s Jazz & Justice concert at Hope Church on Kalamazoo Avenue. The song is “Lagrimas Negras.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
