“I am Somebody!” This was the mantra Reverend Jesse Jackson used to empower generations to recognize their collective genius and fight for civil rights. Following his recent passing, the Women of Color in the Academy Project (WOCAP) and SMTD invite the campus community to a musical tribute in his honor. At noon, the community will gather in spirit to honor the life and legacy of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. From 12–12:15 pm, University Carillonist Tiffany Ng will perform a program of reflection and resistance on the 53-bell Charles Baird Carillon. The program features anthems deeply rooted in Rev. Jackson’s decades of activism. From the soaring hope of \"Lift Every Voice and Sing\" to the resolute \"We Shall Overcome,\" these bells serve as a campus-wide call to remember a leader who taught us to \"Keep Hope Alive.\" After concluding with \"Lift Every Voice and Sing,\" the special program will be followed by carillon compositions by diverse contemporary composers. During the recital, the bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs. Take the elevator to the highest floor possible (floor 8), and then climb two flights of stairs (39 steps) to the bell chamber (floor 10). Hearing protection earmuffs are provided for visitors. Be prepared to walk on ice and snow in the bell chamber during winter. Built in 1936, the Charles Baird Carillon is not ADA accessible. Visitors with mobility concerns are invited to visit the Lurie Carillon.
