“The human voice is the organ
of the soul”
(Valorie Burton)
Nelson Mandela used the
totality of his being to change the face of the modern world. He spent his life
entrenched in thought about being a victim of cultural imposition and used his
voice to speak up against it. He took on the stupendous task of organizing social wars for the mental, spiritual and physical freedom of his people.
He became a legend in his own
time because he worked hard to make adjustments to the so-called laws of
supremacy that came in the apartheid era when human rights for people who were
living in South Africa were continuously being violated. He provided encouragement
then and still in today’s world. And with this in mind, this Sunday, my show Jazz on the
JNote will be dedicated to his life.
This Sunday, Jazz on the JNote
which is a jazz-based radio show hosted by Stephanie Jeannot, will focus on the
life and achievements of the hero, Nelson Mandela, as part of our four-week
Black History Month series. While the non-stop music flow of jazz is being
played, there will also be moments of conversation about the life and times of
the first black president of South Africa. Please listen if you can.
