In a Prospect Park Celebrate Brooklyn Freedom Riders Tribute, Toshi Reagon established a line of singers and with orchestral support, created a special collective sonic moment reminding all within the sound of the singing that most of those who took the Freedom Ride half a century ago were under 20 and that there are those of us who remember their songs…
I know your father, Cordell Hull Reagon (deceased) and his sister – your aunt – Joy Leonard, who took the trip and did the time in Mississippi Parchman Penitentiary were deeply moved to be held by the tribute you showered on us a half century later…
So very pleased to be your mom…
