Racial supremacy was wrong in 1800, and it’s wrong now. 

“Torrington is a microcosm of America,” says Daniel Morrison, executive producer of the project, and a member of the board of directors of Culture 4 A Cause.  “We are a diverse community of city, suburban, exurban, and rural people. We want to say loud and clear that a passion for equality is steeped in Torrington’s past, present, and future.”
“We are recording this song not as an act of protest, but as an act of community celebration,” says Morrison. “Our guy, John Brown, set out from Torrington to change the world for the better and we want to celebrate that spirit 220 years after his birth.”
The project is also meant to give a sonic boost to the growing visual arts movement in Torrington and NWCT. “There is a lot of superb talent and artistic resources in our region, and we want to shine a light on them,” adds Jacque Williams, a local recording artist, media personality, and Vice-chairman of Culture For A Cause.
The song will be accompanied by a documentary-style music video featuring footage of the artists interspersed with historic images and informational graphics celebrating John Brown’s steadfast dedication to equality.
