A statement of solidarity with Black Lives Matter

The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra stands in solidarity with people of colour to recognize our failings as a society to address and extinguish the inequality experienced by African-Americans and other marginalized minorities including, in Manitoba, our indigenous population. We denounce systemic racism and violence. We took the day on June 2, Blackout Tuesday, with other music and arts organizations to listen to the voices telling of horrific injustices and systemic issues. We will continue to listen to these communities and we will find opportunities to support them.
 
Jazz music originated in the African–American experience of oppression and has evolved through the contributions of mostly African-American musicians. Now enjoyed by (and performed by) people of all ethnicities and backgrounds throughout the world, we recognize and acknowledge those who developed jazz and big band jazz music.
 
Further, we urge jazz lovers to support local, Canadian, and International jazz artists of colour by purchasing their music.
 
The musicians, staff, volunteers, and Board of Directors of the WJO all understand that silence is not an option. We welcome information about other organizations that we can partner with. Our society has to correct the systems that endanger health and safety of minorities, systems that hold people from achieving and keeping wealth and status, and to correct individuals biased preconceptions.
 
The WJO supports the dignity and value of people of colour as we continue to bring you this music we all love.
 
The WJO
