Philadelphia jazz musician Micah Graves
On this week’s Regional Roundup, we’re going to highlight Black voices that have appeared on past editions of the show. First, Philadelphia-based poet AIREA D. MATTHEWS will join us to recite some poems, tell us about her work and about being awarded a 2020 Pew Fellowship. Then, Philadelphia community activist ANTON MOORE joins us to talk about the new series he co-produced about the ravages of Philadelphia’s gun violence epidemic called “The Weight of Death.” And, we’ll hear music and conversation with young Philadelphia jazz musician and composer MICAH GRAVES.
