RIVER CITY DRUMBEAT A Louisville story of rhythm and change

Drumming up life skills

Ed “Nardie” White

VISION S

JUNE 2 021

For 27 years, Edward “Nardie” White ran the River City Drum Corps, a West Louisville organization he founded with his late wife, Zambi Nkrumah, that teaches children how to play African rhythms and showcase their percussion skills on a drumline. The idea for the Drum Corps, White said, stemmed from his childhood experiences growing up in a hardscrabble West Louisville neighborhood, where the path out of poverty was said to be found on a football field or basketball court. White didn’t care for sports; he liked art — sculpture and photography. But there weren’t any outlets for his interests. In the early 1990s, while working as director of the Parkland Boys and Girls Club, White saw how the kids lit up while watching a visiting drum corps perform — and an idea was born. Shortly afterward, White left his job to pursue the idea of starting his own drum corps, which at the outset consisted of his son and a few of his friends. But the River City Drum Corps soon caught on, its numbers ultimately growing to 30-40 children. Today, the Drum Corps is a common and beloved sight around Louisville, playing at local schools and churches, city events and regional festivals. Hundreds of children have progressed through its ranks, with many using the experience as a springboard to attend college or embark on a career. But the secret to the Drum Corps’ lasting success, White acknowledges, is that the organization is not really about the drums.

“If you want to get a child’s attention, it helps if it makes a lot of noise,” White said, explaining why drums became the group’s focus. “But the reality is I’m not trying to turn anybody into

the program Louisville Life. Then in 2016, filmmaker Owsley Brown III, a Louisville native, convinced White to permit camera crews to follow the organization’s members for a featurelength documentary film, River City Drumbeat, which airs on KET this month (see page 4). White said he’s thrilled the film found a home on KET, which he said is a champion of education and the arts, particularly in underserved communities across the Commonwealth. “So much of television is about fantasy,” White said. “But KET is different. It’s about real life and real stories and about connecting people to the arts and culture of Kentucky. That’s likewise what the Drum Corps is all about.”

“So much of television is about fantasy. But KET is different. It’s about real life and real stories and about connecting people to the arts and culture of Kentucky.” drummers. Instead, we’re trying to give these kids life skills by teaching them discipline and responsibility. Through the spirit of the drums, we let them grow into who they are and help them find their purpose.” The Drum Corps has been featured on KET several times over the years. In 2000, the group performed on the KET program In Performance at the Governor’s Mansion. It was featured again in a 2013 segment on

With Kentucky teachers, caregivers and parents relying more than ever on KET educational resources, and with some of those resources being the most used in the nation on PBS LearningMedia, we’re incredibly proud to be an integral part of student learning in the Commonwealth and across the country. Building on our reputation for providing quality, curriculum-based resources that help enhance and supplement classroom instruction, we’re happy to announce KET’s Summer of Adventure to promote hands-onlearning experiences. Designed to be an inspirational starting point, the collection of online resources is available to serve as a launching pad for kids to go, and do, and to explore — all while having fun and learning. And the new broadcast series CampTV will provide opportunities for exploration and creative ways to promote summer learning through activities set in a classic summer camp environment. At KET, we remain committed to continuous learning for everyone and wish you and your family a wonderful summer. Sincerely,

THE HEARTBEAT OF A WEST LOUISVILLE DRUMLINE Three decades ago, Edward

“Nardie” White and his late wife Zambi Nkrumah founded the River City Drum Corps, a West Louisville organization that sought to teach children leadership and responsibility through music. Since then, more than 1,000 students have joined the drumline, learning to navigate their way through the world by connecting with the art and cultural traditions of their African ancestors. In 2016, a documentary film crew began following White and his drum students, arriving at a 4

pivotal time and amassing nearly two years of footage. White, nearing the end of his run as the organization’s director, was poised to hand over the reins to a former standout student, Albert Shumake. And several of the drumline’s veteran pupils were on the cusp of graduating high school, pondering where their paths would lead after years in the Drum Corps family. The result is River City Drumbeat — a 90-minute documentary that shows the organization’s inner workings and the transformative impact it’s had on the lives of its members.

“The first time I saw the film, I was totally amazed,” White said. “They captured the spirit of what I’m trying to do.” Produced by Owsley Brown, a Louisville native, and directed by award-winning filmmakers Anne Flatté and Marlon Johnson, River City Drumbeat presents a moving portrait of the grassroots organization, the leaders devoted to its mission and the community that rallied behind it.

KET Begins Tuesday, June 22 • 9/8 pm KET2 Begins Thursday, June 24 • 9/8 pm

Thanks to advances in modern medicine, doctors are better equipped to fight many lifethreatening diseases. But rather than trying to defeat death, should we be more focused on quality of life? In this film, Dr. Kevin Fong makes a personal journey through the moral questions around death. He meets medical professionals whose work is shaping the debate and people facing the dilemma of how to die a better death.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust the subject of mental health back into the national limelight. This four-episode series, told over two nights, gives historic context to the stories of those living with mental illness. It traces how our understanding of mental illness has evolved from an ancient idea of spiritual affliction to, more recently, a complex neurobiological system that continues to puzzle those who study it.

Our appreciation to the following corporate partners for their support

A note from the ‘Visions’ editors We know that Visions magazine is an important guide for our Members, and we do our best to provide timely, accurate information. Unfortunately, some factors are beyond our control. Typically, Visions is sent for printing and mailing approximately three weeks prior to the first of each month. During that time, program schedules may be altered due to national schedule changes from PBS, producers or distributors. The most up-to-date schedule of KET’s programs can always be found at KET.org/tv-listings. We also know that postal service delays can sometimes result in your copy of Visions arriving after the first of the month. If this happens, please let us know by calling 800-866-0366 or e-mailing membership@KET.org. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your support.
