Join us on Thursday, March 11 from 12-1pm ET for our first concert with Baltimore Boom Bap Society in support of the Baltimore Ceasefire movement.
Hip-hop collective Baltimore Boom Bap Society will present an original performance to address root causes of gun violence in our community and bring healing to people and places affected by loss of life in Baltimore.
DJ/producers Wendel Patrick and DJ Dubble8 will host guest vocalist and emcee J Pope and bassist Jeron White to create a series of live, improvised compositions.
Baltimore Ceasefire ambassadors will also share more about their critical work in the local movement for racial justice and how you can get involved.
We invite you to enjoy this free performance and learn more about the fight for racial justice in the Baltimore community.

The Racial Justice Concert Series (RJCS), a collaboration among Johns Hopkins students, faculty and staff, harnesses the power of music to bring awareness to issues of racism in Baltimore, and to support Baltimore organizations that focus on racial justice work. The RJCS features performances by Baltimore musicians and provides a platform for racial justice organizations to educate audiences about their efforts.
The RJCS is cooperatively produced and funded by the Johns Hopkins Program in Arts, Humanities, & Health, Johns Hopkins Center for Music and Medicine, and Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab.
