On the Tender Spot of Every Calloused Moment (stylized in lowercase) is the fifth studio album, and sixth album overall, by American jazz trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire. The album was released on June 5, 2020 by Blue Note Records

The album title refers to a trip that Akinmusire took to his hometown of Oakland, California in 2016, during which he witnessed the changes caused by gentrification. The local population substantially changed due to the expansion of Silicon Valley, and long-term, often impoverished residents were driven out of the city...The album contains eleven compositions by Akinmusire, which he recorded with his quartet consisting of pianist Sam Harris, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer Justin Brown.The album also features guest vocalists Genevieve Artadi and Jesus Diaz. - Wikipedia

Omega by Immanuel Wilkins, released on Blue Note in 2020.

"When Immanuel Wilkins created the music for “Mary Turner – An American Tradition,” one of many standout songs from his stellar debut album, Omega, he wanted to craft something that spoke directly to the Black experience in America. Wilkins, an alto saxophonist and bandleader from Upper Darby, Pa., wasn’t thinking about anything positive, he wanted to convey the deep pain his people have endured in this country for centuries. Mary Turner, a Black woman who was eight months pregnant, was killed in Georgia during a lynching rampage in 1918, after she publicly decried her husband’s murder by the same means. A mob of white people hanged her upside down, burned her, then cut out her baby and stomped on her unborn child..." - Blue Note

Bytes Europe · USDA suspends 1890 Scholars Program for HBCU studentsWASHINGTON (AP) — A federal scholarship aimed at boosting students from underserved and rural areas attending historically Black colleges and universities has been put on hold. The U.S. Department of Agriculture suspended the 1890 Scholars Program, which provided recipients with full tuition and fees for students studying agriculture, food or natural resource sciences at one of 19 universities, known as the 1890 land grant institutions. It’s not clear exactly when the program was suspended, but some members of Congress first issued statements criticizing the suspension of the program on Thursday. “The 1890 Scholars Program has been suspended pending further review,”
