Bullard Plaza, 14508 Lincoln Blvd., Miami. The reception will open with the lighting of a candle in honor of the late D’Sean Perry. The South Dade Black History Center is proud to celebrate his remarkable artistic talents. “If football was the center of Perry’s world, then his love for art was the brightly shining sun in that world,” said former County Commissioner Dennis C. Moss, SDBHCAB Chairman. “His ability to take abstract ceramic and turn it into a work of art was mesmerizing.” Perry grew up in South Dade and was a linebacker for the University of Virginia Cavaliers when he and two other teammates were shot on a bus as they returned to campus from a field trip. The deadly gunfire that claimed their lives took place on Nov. 13, 2022. For more information email sdblackhistory@miamidade.gov.

Label him jazz, and he makes a funk record. Call him an R&B artist, and he drops an acoustic jazz trio collection. Brand him pop, and he creates a 32-minute new age opus.
