For 2024, CJSS is proud to honor trailblazing violinist Regina Carter. For her featured portion of the Summit, Regina will discuss and present video excerpts of an ongoing project that speaks to the damaging effects of the 1956 Highway Act and redlining in black communities throughout the United States, historically to the present day. Regina will also read spoken word to her compositions performed by violist Leslie DeShazor, bassist Junius Paul and CJSS founder, Tomeka Reid.

Presenting the New String Trio with Leslie DeShazor, viola Tomeka Reid - cello, and Junius Paul - bass. Due to a recent injury, unfortunately Regina Carter will not be performing this evening.
