Memorial For Us All: Vanessa Williams

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts

In the midst of an unprecedented pandemic, many rituals we hold dear are no longer possible. As we find our footing in this new terrain, faith leaders have enlisted New York City artists and Lincoln Center to offer a weekly Memorial For Us All. Music unlocks thoughts, feelings, and memories that unite and free us. These memorials allow music to begin to heal us all, as it has in so many rituals since the beginning of time.

Singer and actress Vanessa Williams leads the tenth and final community remembrance with renditions of “Colors of the Wind,“ “Save the Best For Last,“ “Love Is,“ (with Darius De Haas), and “Children Will Listen.“

Memorial For Us All is a secular community remembrance, welcoming all to celebrate the lives of those who have left us too soon.
