SUMMARY:CWRU Social Justice Institute Hosts Jazz Concert to Spotlight Poet/
 Performer on Death Row
DESCRIPTION:\nSat 10/25 @ 6PM\nThe Social Justice Institute at Case Western
  Reserve University\, which still exists\, despite attempts by state and f
 ederal politicians to ban “DEI” (diversity\, equity and inclusion)\, w
 hich is literally SJI’s mission: to make sure all people have representa
 tion and equal opportunities to go as far as their talents and effort can 
 take them.\n\nThe next event on SJI’s schedule is called “Social Justi
 ne in the Arts\,” taking place at CWRU’s Tinkham Veale Center Ballroom
 . “We are excited to create a space of connection\, education\, and insp
 iration with an evening of artistic expressions.”\nThe centerpiece of th
 e event is a jazz performance by Freedom First\, an ensemble that features
  Spanish pianist Albert Marquès in collaboration with poet/spoken word ar
 tist/painter/activist/educator Keith LaMar who has been on death row in Oh
 io for nearly 30 years for a crime he did not commit. According to Marquè
 s’ website\, “At each Freedom First concert\, LaMar performs live by p
 hone from the Ohio State Penitentiary\, melding his electrifying spoken wo
 rd poetry with contemporary jazz played by a stellar group of internationa
 l musicians.”\n\nThe event is free and open to all\, but registration is
  required here. The CWRU Office of Government and Community Relations and 
 the CWRU School of Law Social Justice Law Center are co-sponsors of the ev
 ent.\nPeople are encouraged to make donations to LaMar’s legal fund here
