The Buck Dinner is a yearly fundraising even that supports the Sugar Law Center, National Lawyers Guild, ACLU, and some 50 grassroots organizations fighting for our freedoms, peace, justice, and racial and economic equality. After a welcome from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Buck Dinner will be hosted by folk musician-labor advocate Chris Buhalis (you can read about him on NPR and his website). It will also feature jazz guitarist A. Spencer Barefield with his daughter Grammy-nominated violinist Jannina Norpoth and her husband bassist John-Paul Norpoth. For you jazz fans, Charles Mingus fans, and activists (that should cover all of us!), you don't want to miss their interpretation of Fables of Faubus, written by Mingus as a direct protest against Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, who in 1957 sent out the National Guard to prevent the racial integration of Little Rock Central High School by nine African American teenagers, in what became known as the Little Rock Crisis.
