The Building (Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts)

was designated 

by act of Congress to be 

"living memorial" to JFK

(our 20th Century young President assassinated

Nov. 1963 in Dallas TX).

For 2 decades in D.C.

a variety of Jazz musicians 

would perform a Xmas Eve concert;

Mr. Chuck Redd began as host in 2006.

He decided Friday 12/19 when POTUS

Trump 2.0 and the current board/management

added the Trump name to the building

facade and the center's website that he would

cancel the Jazz concert.
