My cousin, who is in a symphony, is writing a paper on racism in the symphonic music industry. Turns out the symphony administration wanted to feature a black composer to showcase the history of black experience through classical music.

They brought someone on & after listening to the music, they decided it wasn't "happy" enough, so they went another direction entirely, going white again.

"Happy?" What history were they imagining?
