To celebrate the National Day of Racial Healing on January 17, 2017, here is Lizz Wright’s new song, “Painted Sky" (Don't Give Up On Us). Co-written by Maia Sharp and featuring Kenny Banks Sr. (piano) and Ted and Angela Jenifer (vocals). The video was produced by Monica Haslip.
“’Painted Sky’ (Don't Give Up On Us) is an invitation to be courageous, real and to end the suffering of denial. It’s time to come out from beneath our confining constructs of unnatural thinking about who we are and who belongs. We have the ability to rewrite our narrative as Americans to one that welcomes and embraces the fullness of our individual and collective humanity. The dream of equity and fairness for all is not enough as just a dream. We must welcome it and live it as we open our minds and hearts. Our greatest strength is when we reveal our ability to see ourselves reflected in one another.” -- Lizz Wright
