"Esperanto" (presented by the Millpond.Live art & music festival):

A free, all ages evening of entertainment uniting musicians - including Rebel Diaz, Salsa Train Orquestra, A2VT and Super Yamba Band - from four continents, in a blend of Afrobeat rhythms, psychedelic funk, hip hop, and Afro-Cuban Salsa.

This multimedia workshop led by Rebel Diaz will focus on the historical and current connections between community activism and Hip Hop culture. By looking at historical examples of community organizing through Hip-Hop, as well as music, videos, and pictures, we will explore the notion of community self-determination inherent in Hip-Hop, and how this essence can be reclaimed in the context of today’s corporate rap music industry.

This interactive workshop open to adults and older children and led by visual artist Sophia Dawson, will introduce people to political prisoners, and explore the questions: what makes someone a political prisoner? Who are some of the U.S. held political prisoners? How can we support them? How can we use visual art to share their story?

Robert Meeropol, younger son of Ethel Rosenberg, talks about the nationwide campaign to gather support for his family's request to President Obama to exonerate Ethel. Robert will discuss new evidence showing his mother was not a spy, and the government knew it but executed her anyway, in a politically motivated act intended to intimidate dissenters at the height of the McCarthy Era.
