Dave Brubeck was also an activist & supporter of human/civil rights. He canceled a tour in US South & refused to replace Eugene Wright with a white guy❤️🎶

@BootsChantilly You're welcome. I've been a Brubeck fan for years. I fell in love with his musical talent, first. I grew to respect & admire his strength & bravery, against white supremacy & how he refused to let racists bully him. I respected how he stood up for Eugene Wright & every black musician who racists tried to erase. Dave Brubeck was not just an amazing musician. Dave Brubeck was a beautiful human being, who stood on the side of humanity & he was an environmentalist too 💗✌️💗
