She was signed to Elektra Records in 1987. The following year she released her self-titled debut album, which became a commercial success, boosted by her appearance at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert, and was certified 6× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.

The album received six Grammy Award nominations, including one for Album of the Year, three of which she won: Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her single "Fast Car", and Best Contemporary Folk Album.

In 1989, Tracy released her second album, Crossroads, which earned her an additional Grammy Award nomination for Best Contemporary Folk Album. Her third album, Matters of the Heart, followed in 1992.

In 1995, her fourth album, New Beginning, became another worldwide success. It was certified 5× platinum by the RIAA and yielded the hit single "Give Me One Reason", which earned her the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.

Telling Stories released in 2000, Let It Rain and Where You Live, followed in 2002 and 2005, respectively. Her most recent studio album, Our Bright Future, was released later.

Tracy was commissioned by the American Conservatory Theater to compose music for its production of Athol Fugard's Blood Knot, a play about apartheid in South Africa, staged in early 2008.

She was appointed a member of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival U.S. Documentary jury. She performed Ben E King's "Stand By Me" on one of the final episodes of the Late Show with David Letterman in April 2015.

In 2023, Chapman became the first black person to score a country number one with a solo composition, and to win the Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year, when Luke Combs covered her song "Fast Car".

In 2025, the album was preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.

Cordy Tindell Vivian (July 30, 1924 – July 17, 2020)

Vivian died from natural causes in Atlanta thirteen days before his 96th birthday and on the same day when his friend and fellow activist, John Lewis, died in the same city.

Vivian was born in Boonville, Missouri, and later migrated with his mother to where he attended Lincoln Grade School and Edison Junior High School. Vivian graduated from Macomb High School in 1942 and attended Western Illinois University in Macomb, where he worked as the sports editor for the school newspaper. He was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
His first professional job was recreation director for the Carver Community Center in Peoria, Illinois. There Vivian participated in his first sit-in demonstrations, which successfully integrated Barton's Cafeteria in 1947.

Vivian helped found the Nashville Christian Leadership Conference, and helped organize the first sit-ins in Nashville in 1960, the first civil rights march, and participated in Freedom Rides in 1961.

His 1970 Black Power and the American Myth was the first book on the Civil Rights Movement. In 1977 founded the Black Action Strategies and Information Center (BASIC), a consultancy on multiculturalism and race relations in the workplace and other contexts.

In 2008, Vivian founded and incorporated the C. T. Vivian Leadership Institute, Inc. (CTVLI) to "Create a Model Leadership Culture in Atlanta" Georgia. The C. T. Vivian Leadership Institute conceived, developed and implemented the "Yes, We Care" campaign on December 18, 2008 (four days after the City of Atlanta turned the water off at Morris Brown College (MBC) and, over a period of two and a half months, mobilized the Atlanta community to donate in excess of $500,000 directly to Morris Brown as "bridge funding." That effort saved the Historically Black College or University (HBCU) and allowed the college to negotiate with the city which ultimately restored the water services to the college.

On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama named Vivian as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

In 2018, Vivian donated his collection of 6,000 volumes of books largely about the black experience and written by black authors to the National Monuments Foundation for inclusion in the Peace Column, the centerpiece of the upcoming Rodney Cook Sr. Park in Vine City. The C.T. Vivian Library will be housed within the base of the 110-foot column.

He was the first Black, non-elected man to lie in state at the Georgia State Capitol. He was buried at Westview Cemetery in Atlanta.

James Luther Bevel (October 19, 1936 – December 19, 2008)

was an American minister and a leader and major strategist of the 1960's Civil Rights Movement, and a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC), and then as its director of direct action and nonviolent education, Bevel initiated, strategized, and developed SCLC's three major successes of the era: the 1963 Birmingham Children’s Crusade,the 1965 Selma voting rights movement, and the 1966 Chicago open housing movement.

Prior to his time with SCLC, Bevel worked in the Nashville Student Movement, which conducted the 1960 Nashville Lunch-Counter Sit-ins, the 1961 Open Theater Movement, and recruited students to continue the 1961 Freedom Rides after they were attacked. He helped with initiating and directing the 1961 and 1962 voting rights movement in Mississippi. In 1967, Bevel was chairman of the Spring Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam. He initiated the 1967 March on the United Nations as part of the anti-war movement.

The Open Theater Movement, led by Bevel, had success in Nashville, the only city in the country where SCLC activists had organized such an action. In this same period, the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) had organized the 1961 Freedom Rides through the Deep South to challenge southern state laws and practices that interstate buses and their facilities remain segregated despite federal laws for equal treatment. After buses and riders were severely attacked, including a firebombing of a bus and beatings with police complicity in Birmingham, Alabama, CORE suspended the rides.

Diane Nash, the Nashville Student Movement’s chairman, urged the group to continue the Freedom Rides, and called for college volunteers from Fisk and other universities across the South. Bevel selected the student teams for the buses. He and the others were arrested after they arrived in Jackson, Mississippi and tried to desegregate the waiting rooms in the bus terminal. Eventually, the Freedom Riders reached their goal of New Orleans, Louisiana, generating nationwide coverage of the violence Jim Crow and white supremacy.

His last major action was as co-initiator of the 1995 Day of Atonement/Million Man March in Washington, D.C. For his work, Bevel has been called the strategist and architect of the 1960's Civil Rights Movement and, with Dr. King, half of the first-tier team that formulated many of the strategies and actions to gain federal legislation and social changes during the 1960's civil rights era.

In 2005 Bevel was accused by one of his daughters of in**st. Three others accused him of sexual abuse that allegedly occurred when they were children, though he was never charged with those crimes. He was tried for in**st in April 2008, convicted, and sentenced to fifteen years in prison and a fine of $50,000.

After serving seven months, he was freed awaiting an appeal; he died of pancreatic cancer in December 2008 and was buried in Eutaw, Alabama.

Scents Time Began many are combining scents from complementary fragrance families or by selecting blends with a similar intended effect.

A classic and effective combination is the spiritual duo of frankincense and myrrh.

This classic pairing offers a rich, exotic, and spiritual atmosphere. For centuries, these tree resins have been burned together in temples and churches to create a deep, calming scent that is ideal for meditation, prayer, and cleansing rituals.

Frankincense: An aromatic resin with an earthy, woody, and slightly citrusy scent. It is known for promoting spiritual clarity and reducing anxiety.

Myrrh: A resin with a smoky, pungent, and grounding aroma. It is used for purification, protection, and setting a sacred atmosphere.

May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice. Psalm 141:2
