A big shout out to the #JHUBillieHolidayCenterForLiberationArts for hosting such a spectacular event. We learned so much, found a groove, and loved seeing @IBJHUKSAS and @afrocharities friends there to talk Black Baltimore history! We are GRATEFUL. #JazzInTheSquare
Last weekend's Billie Holiday Jazz Tribute Concert was a roaring success, celebrating both a Baltimore icon and the city's rich cultural history.
Thank you to everyone for coming out. We can't wait to see you again next year!
