#OnThisDay in 1956, singer and pianist Nat King Cole was performing before an all-white audience of 4,000 at the Municipal Auditorium in Birmingham, Alabama, when he was attacked and knocked down by a group of white men.

As we reflect on Nat King Cole's experience and the countless other artists who have faced similar challenges, let us recommit ourselves to creating a world where every individual, regardless of race, can freely express themselves without fear of discrimination or harm. It's imperative that we continue to confront and dismantle systemic racism in all its forms, ensuring that the arts remain a platform for inclusivity, diversity, and unity.
