UAPresents and Tucson Botanical Gardens are presenting a virtual series of “Concerts from the Gardens” on Thursdays at 6 p.m. The organizations postponed the series’ June 4 concert as part of the #theshowmustbepaused movement, to reflect and identify ways they can stand in solidarity with black artists and the entire black community. As a way of remembering the lives of black people like George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others, both in recent and distant history, they encourage people to support Black Lives Matter, Tucson Reparations, Tucson Second Chance Bail Fund, and to explore anti-racism resources online.
