The richness of Los Angeles comprises stories that move the mind, soul, and conviction. One of these stories is the unsung bravery and artistry of early Central Avenue musicians whose work transformed L.A.\u2019s music industry forever.<\/p>\n

\"ehemeraBlackMusic, BlackWork<\/em>, an upcoming historical exhibit of the Los Angeles Black musicians union Local 767, aims to share dynamic history of organizing in the arts that spans the founding of the city\u2019s Black musicians union in the 1920s to the contemporary struggles of working musicians who understand the transformative power of art and culture.<\/p>\n

In a major kickoff event to raise funds for this historic exhibition set to debut in February 2017 during Black History Month, AFM Local 47, the Los Angeles Black Worker Center, UCLA Labor Center, and the City of Los Angeles hosted the Jam Session for Justice in the Arts Fundraiser at the Vision Theatre in Liemert Park on July 21.

Nearly 100 guests attended the lively event, which opened with a cocktail mixer reception and mini-exhibit tours where attendees could get an up-close glimpse of select pieces of artifacts and ephemera that will be included in the full future exhibit, guided by curator Danielle Wilson. While browsing the historical items, guests were also treated to the musical talents of AFM Local 47 pianist Nick Smith.<\/p>\n

Guests then funneled into the theater, with\u00a0Lola Smallwood Cuevas of the Black Worker Center serving as emcee.\u00a0Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas delivered opening remarks describing the importance of inclusion in the arts and the contemporary connection to the historical Local 767 story, and renowned jazz bassist and John Clayton spoke on behalf of AFM Local 47 and the legacy of Local 767 and the work that 47 is doing today.<\/p>\n

\"Guest

Guest panelists included former members and family of Local 767 and a jazz historian from UCLA.<\/p><\/div>\n

Local 47 President John Acosta served as moderator for a lively panel discussion on \u201cOrganizing for Change in Community, Arts, and Industry\u201d featuring Clora Bryant, member of Local 767, trumpeter; Cheryl Collette and Fred White, daughter and grandson of Local 767 member Buddy Collette; and Steven Isoardi, jazz scholar, UCLA professor and author of \u201cCentral Avenue Sounds.\u201d Panelists discussed the role of Local 767 during its heyday in the late 1940s along Central Avenue, dubbed as \u201cHarlem West,\u201d when it served as the cultural and economic hub of the Black community from the 1920s to the 1950s.<\/p>\n

\"L.A.

L.A. Board of Public Works Commissioner Mike Davis solicits “friendraising\u201d from the audience.<\/p><\/div>\n

The event closed out with a call to action from City of Los Angeles Board of Public Works Commissioner Mike Davis, whose enthusiasm encouraged many to participate in the \u201cFriendraise and Fundraise\u201d for the BlackMusic, BlackWork<\/em> exhibit. The successful event brought our goal\u00a0close to $18,000 of the $40,000 needed to make this important exhibition a reality.<\/p>\n

As we currently witness a level of Black working-class activism that has not been seen in decades, it is important to examine the lessons of the past in order to reimagine the possibilities of work and opportunity in our communities and its impact on Los Angeles as a whole. BlackMusic, BlackWork<\/em> will ignite this urgent conversation. By turning this historic union\u2019s archives inside out, the exhibit\u00a0will document the extraordinary\u2014yet widely unknown\u2014struggle of Black musicians, from Central Avenue\u2019s rise as the West Coast\u2019s cultural center, up to the present struggles of working musicians and activists who understand the transformative power of art, culture, and organization.<\/p>\n
