:: DROPPING EVERY TUESDAY SUMMER 2023 ::
“I don’t plan for mistakes. I plan for perfection,” says Ms. Clayton, referring to her life and the creation of The Trumpet Awards, the celebrated program she conceived that honors the achievements of Black Americans. From a doctor in Chicago who made it possible to store blood donations to Cedric the Entertainer, the cultural contributions and successes of the community are many. “The trumpet has a glare. It has strength. You hear it loudly. My message is that we are beautiful,” says Ms. Clayton, who celebrated the 28th Annual Bounce Trumpet Awards this year. “We educate black people as much as we educate white people.”
In this penultimate episode, we also hear about Ms. Clayton’s involvement with the National Urban League and her early workplace activism at Marshall Field department store. Her energy and positivity shines through every anecdote and history lesson. For more, don’t miss Xernona Clayton: A Life in Black & White, airing on Brown Sugar, featuring the largest catalog of classic Black cinema. Go to brownsugar.com.
