I just don't think one person has that much to contribute to any subject.
From Bernice Johnson Reagon
It makes sense that whatever the topic is, it's more compelling if you can provide the audience with a range of perspectives, and you can cross disciplines. And you don't have to control what people take out of it.
But I'm a historian. I wasn't interested in just being a producer, I was interested in doing research and presenting that research to a general public.
I organized Sweet Honey In The Rock in 1973. The music was sanity and balance.
In fact when Sweet Honey was ten years old it was too big for me to run, and I knew it, but I ran it for another thirteen years because I couldn't convince other people to really do it. And this year, I'm not running it.
There is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up.
