'Jazz4Freedom' is setting the stage for 4th-grade students to be the change they want to see in the world.
"We are all professional performers," said Luke Carlos O'Reilly, a teaching artist and the program host. "And we talk about social change and using your voice and finding your voice to make that change."
In-between acts, O'Reilly stimulates conversation about civil rights and social justice with the audience. Alaysha Nixon is one of those students who attends Gotwals Elementary School in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Of all the topics that she learned about, Nixon was most moved by gun violence. Nixon even said she might consider a career in activism when she grows up in order to help her neighborhood.
