WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH CELEBRATED AT DUSABLE MUSEUM WITH EXHIBITION
WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
CELEBRATED AT DUSABLE MUSEUM WITH EXHIBITION
CURATED BY DR. CAROL
ADAMS AND JANIS LANE EWART; DESIGNED BY DORIAN SYLVAIN
FREE AT FIRST: The Audacious
Journey of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians
Exhibit Salutes AACM at 50 The DuSable Museum of African
American History is celebrating Women's History Month with an exhibition
curated and designed by three dynamic, visionary women. Co-curated by jazz
advocate Janis Lane Ewart and Dr. Carol Adams, retired CEO of DuSable Museum,
and designed by muralist/ fine artist Dorian Sylvain, FREE AT FIRST: The
Audacious Journey of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians
(AACM) is a dynamic, expansive display of the creative output and profound
impact of the Chicago-born and bred music collective, one of the nation's most
enduring. The exhibit is on view at DuSable Museum located at 740 E. 56th Place
through September 6, 2015.
Internationally renowned for unparalleled contributions to
modern music, the AACM is marking its 50th anniversary with a year-long series
of concerts, discussions, and other programs. Founded in Chicago in 1965 in the
midst of the Civil Rights Movement, it took its cue from the Movement to define
itself. The exhibition's title is derived from the AACM's audacity to compose,
perform, publish, own, and institutionalize their own music and to prepare
future exponents of their genre-bending, experimental form through the free
AACM School of Music.
"The celebration of the Association for the Advancement
of Creative Musicians is the culmination of a conversation that I had with
(co-founder) Muhal Richard Abrams and Jeff Donaldson about the energy that
created a level of cultural institution building in Chicago that is
unsurpassed," said Dr. Carol Adams, co-curator and the catalyst for the
exhibition. "We dreamed about a single exhibition that would celebrate
many of our iconic cultural institutions including the grandmother of them all
-- the Southside Community Arts Center.
We should have known that all that was too powerful for one
show! But we are proud to have inaugurated a series that presents the ongoing
work of these iconic organizations and hope they rekindle the energy that
inspired their great accomplishments for generations to come."
FREE AT FIRST is as broad and wide-ranging an exhibition as
the music created by the AACM. The women have assembled historic and iconic
photographs, a musical soundscape inclusive of AACM founders and the newest
generation, film and video, performance costumes, uniquely crafted awards of
recognition, and performance posters from around the globe all displayed on
beautifully designed backgrounds. It includes original instruments like the
frankiphone modeled on the African mbira by Kelan Phil Cohran and the "StepHopThread
Airbone," an interactive installation piece by Douglas Ewart.
For more information on the museum and its programs, call
773-947-0600 or visit www.dusablemuseum.org . For more information on the AACM,

About the Designer DORIAN
SYLVAIN is a painter, an interpreter of color and how it can be used to exploit
imagery. Her paintings have crossed many disciplines; studio painting, scenic
design, mural painting, decorative arts, education, curation and community
planning. For the past three decades she has been committed to the creation of
public art projects that expose children and communities to artmaking,
providing a group experience that elevates the neighborhoods aesthetic
understanding. Ms Sylvain has developed dozens of large-scale art projects
designed to engage the public in the creation of a finished artistic expression
and to promote the cultures of the African Diaspora.
She is
currently designing three murals for the Chicago Public Schools that explore
unique cultural markers found around the world, as seen through architecture
and the decorative arts. Sylvain most recently completed two exhibition designs
for the DuSable Museum: "Africobra: Art and Impact" (2013) and
"Free at First: The Audacious Journey of the AACM "(2015). Both
exhibitions made full use of her bold color expression and painted mural
throughout the gallery.

Rev. Willie Barrow R.I.P.
THE “LITTLE WARRIOR” HAS MADE HER TRANSITION
Statement By Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Rev. Willie Taplin Barrow, “The Little Warrior” from Burton, Texas, made her transition last night. She is my sister beloved who was my co-worker for more than 50 years. She was a woman of unusual courage, character and ability. She was on Dr. King’s staff during the days of Operation Breadbasket, continued on my staff at Operation PUSH, was deeply involved in my two presidential campaigns as a delegate and as part of the Electoral College vote from Illinois, supported the National Rainbow Coalition, was active in the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and attended every Saturday morning community meeting that her health would permit. She was a great motivational speaker with the unusual gift of being able to take a scared group of people and inspire them to take militant non-violent action to correct a wrong.
She was an authentic freedom fighter in the linage of Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer. In sickness and death her body was frail, but her spirit and good works were never feeble. Our memories of her will never die. Her flame of hope, freedom and justice will forever burn.
Rev. Willie Barrow was a world citizen, traveling to North Vietnam, Russia, Nicaragua, Cuba and South Africa. She was in South Africa when Nelson Mandela was released from prison. She was a short woman in stature and humble woman in spirit, but her life and living made a global impact.
Rev. Barrow, we will miss you, but God has gained a strong spiritual little warrior.

She was a woman of unusual courage, character and ability. She was on Dr. King’s staff during the days of Operation Breadbasket, continued on my staff at Operation PUSH, was deeply involved in my two presidential campaigns as a delegate and as part of the Electoral College vote from Illinois, supported the National Rainbow Coalition, was active in the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and attended every Saturday morning community meeting that her health would permit. She was a great motivational speaker with the unusual gift of being able to take a scared group of people and inspire them to take militant non-violent action to correct a wrong.
She was an authentic freedom fighter in the linage of Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer. In sickness and death her body was frail, but her spirit and good works were never feeble. Our memories of her will never die. Her flame of hope, freedom and justice will forever burn.
Rev. Willie Barrow was a world citizen, traveling to North Vietnam, Russia, Nicaragua, Cuba and South Africa. She was in South Africa when Nelson Mandela was released from prison. She was a short woman in stature and humble woman in spirit, but her life and living made a global impact.
Rev. Barrow, we will miss you, but God has gained a strong spiritual little warrior.

THE “LITTLE WARRIOR” HAS MADE HER TRANSITION
Statement By Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr.
Thursday, March 12, 2015
Rev. Willie Taplin Barrow, “The Little Warrior” from Burton, Texas, made her transition last night. She is my sister beloved who was my co-worker for more than 50 years. She was a woman of unusual courage, character and ability. She was on Dr. King’s staff during the days of Operation Breadbasket, continued on my staff at Operation PUSH, was deeply involved in my two presidential campaigns as a delegate and as part of the Electoral College vote from Illinois, supported the National Rainbow Coalition, was active in the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and attended every Saturday morning community meeting that her health would permit. She was a great motivational speaker with the unusual gift of being able to take a scared group of people and inspire them to take militant non-violent action to correct a wrong.
She was an authentic freedom fighter in the linage of Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks and Fannie Lou Hamer. In sickness and death her body was frail, but her spirit and good works were never feeble. Our memories of her will never die. Her flame of hope, freedom and justice will forever burn.
