As part of a city-wide commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Detroit riots, the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) presents Art of Re-

bellion: Black Art of the Civil Rights Movement, July 23 - Oct. 22. The ex-hibition is free with mu-seum admission, which is free for residents of

Wayne, Oakland and Ma-comb counties. The exhibition is orga-

nized by the DIA and is in collaboration with the Charles H. Wright Muse-um of African American History, which organized the complementary ex-hibition, Say It Loud: Art, History, Rebellion. Both are part of a commu-nity-wide reflection on the Detroit riots of 1967 that involves about 100 local institutions led by the Detroit Historical Museum. Art of Rebel-lion has been generously supported by the Com-munity Foundation for Southeast Michigan and the Whitney Fund. Art of Rebellion features

34 paintings, sculptures and photographs mostly by African American art-ists working both collec-tively and independently in the 1960's and 70's. Artists in the collectives created art for African American audiences that asserted black identity and racial justice and, situated within the story of these collectives, is the Detroit riots of 1967. The exhibition also in-

cludes works by artists who were not part of a collective and artists working in later decades who were inspired by art from the Civil Rights Movement. A scholarly catalog accompanies the exhibition.The DIA's collaboration

with the Wright Museum lays a foundation from which we are building a strategic and lasting working relationship that will help bring our community closer to-gether.

Most of the exhibition focuses on the art of five artist collectives:Spiral, active 1963-65 in

New York. Kamoinge Workshop,

founded in 1963 in Har-lem. Weusi, based in Harlem,

founded in 1965. Black Arts Movement

(BAM), active in New York 1965-76.AfriCOBRA (African

Commune of Bad Rele-vant Artists), established in Chicago in 1968. Art of Rebellion also in-

cludes work by artists who did not belong to a collective but who were also reacting to civil rights and social justice issues. Some examples are Black Attack by Allie McGhee (1967), which is about Detroit's 1967

riots and Selma to Mont-gomery, Alabama March, Cover of May, 1965 Is-sue of Ebony Magazine by photographer Moneta Sleet Jr., which shows Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. leading protesters on the famous march in the title of the work.Many African American

artists working in the 1980's to the present were inspired by artists in the collectives. Among them are Rita Dickerson, whose 2017 painting 1967: Death in the Algiers Motel and Beyond (pic-tured) is about the 1967 Detroit riots. For information, call

(313) 833-7900, or see dia.org. The DIA is located at

5200 Woodward Ave., in Detroit.

SYMPHONIC NEWS

Ruth's Music Notes...Ruth Crystal-Zaromp

Just about anybody in our area who has an interest in classical or jazz music listens to WRCJ, our lo-cal radio station. One can hear classical music from 6 a.m. through 7 p.m. and jazz music follows at night. The richness and potential of the music that is heard continues to influence us all and makes me, for one, grateful. Those who re-member our former classi-cal station WQRS remem-ber how much we missed it when it was discontinued. Today’s WRCJ is managed

by Dave Devereaux (pic-tured), a veteran of public television. He graduated in 1973 from Michigan State University in a program of Radio and TV. At present, he states, this program would probably fall under the category of Mass Com-munications. Devereaux joined Detroit

PBS in 1975 as Head of Communications. In 2009, he became Manager of WRCJ at 90.9 FM. He en-joys this position and de-scribes it as a “great deal of fun.” This public station has more supporters from the classical elements of the city, but there is a very big jazz fan section. The station plays mostly classi-cal and jazz music, but the general interest is to em-phasize all kinds of music and to make music more accessible to all. Devereaux’s personal in-

terests in music grew from blues, guitar, rock and roll, and Beetles into the love for jazz, classical, and country music. He states that most people get involved in mu-sic because of the influence of a parent. “Take a kid to a concert” is the mantra of today. WRCJ also has a pro-gram of Instrument Petting Zoos that began through a collaboration with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orches-

tra some 7-8 years ago and is continuing now under our own efforts. McCourt Music in Berkley (Detroit Violin Company on 12 Mile Road) has been supplying instruments for this pur-pose. Since WRCJ is a pub-

lic broadcasting station, we tend to accommodate ourselves to the fundrais-ings that take place. A nice thank you gift for contribu-tors these days consists of a nine CD set titled “My first box set of classical albums”. This comes together with booklets that describe the music and its history to the listeners. Also, there are myth style stories, which are portrayed by three characters (instruments) that tend to spark conver-sations. Currently there are 90,000

tracks in the music library of WRCJ. Full symphonies are usually played in the time slot of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. The more Avant Garde type of music is performed in the later hours of the day. The library today includes

many down-loadings from record companies. Jim Dantzer, Music Director, is partially responsible for the fact that WRCJ has been now on the best playl-ist for four years. There are 135,000 listeners accord-ing to the rating service. WRCJ has a loose partner-ship with WKAR, which allows for broadcasts in greater Michigan, Interlo-chen and Kalamazoo. The main project of WRCJ al-lows for anybody to listen and enjoy the broadcasts. Some of the fun projects in-cluded playing composers whose names begin with letters from A to Z, holding everybody’s attention to guess who will be coming next. Another effort was called Night Flight playing pieces from different parts of the world. Now that the DSO is mak-

ing a touring trip to China and Japan, there will be ev-eryday reports from one of the performers so that spe-cial happenings will come to us. We can certainly look forward to that.
