Living History: From Enslavement to Industry

This year, JHJ6 highlights the stories of two pivotal Black Westonians who shaped the town’s iconic legacy:

Aaron Busey (1809–1904): A skilled laborer at Holladay Distillery whose dedication allowed him to purchase his own freedom and land.

Margerine Dydell Anderson (1906–1992): A stalwart of the Saint George Hotel who worked tirelessly to pave the way for future generations.

Herbie Hancock

Now in the seventh decade of his professional life, Herbie Hancock remains where he has always been: at the forefront of world culture, technology, business and music. Herbie Hancock has been an integral part of every popular music movement since the 1960s. As a member of the Miles Davis Quintet that pioneered a groundbreaking sound in jazz, he also developed new approaches on his own recordings, followed by his work in the 70s — with record-breaking albums such as “Headhunters” — that combined electric jazz with funk and rock in an innovative style that continues to influence contemporary music.
