First Lady Dr. Jill Biden attended the event remembering the lives of six people, including three children, who were killed in a Nashville school shooting earlier this week
Among the event’s speakers, which did not include the First Lady, were Nashville Mayor John Cooper, who called thethe “city’s worst day” and thanked President Joe Biden for lowering the nation’s flags to half-staff. Police chief John Drake also spoke and noted how years of training for incidents like the one that happened on Monday doesn’t dampen the shock of experiencing the reality that brought him and his officers to tears. Religious leaders offered the familiar thoughts and prayers.
Crow, Price, and Secor appeared in that order — each without introduction, each bearing expressions of post-traumatic resilience matching many in the crowd of hundreds. Seated in front of a keyboard, Crow delivered a somber “I Shall Believe” as people used their candles to light those of others, like a traveling whisper.
If Crow crooned grief, Price confronted the anger. Almost as if on cue, the rush-hour sounds of the city surrounding downtown Nashville’s Public Square Park seemed to fade away as Price belted a devastating a cappella rendition of The Band classic “Tears of Rage,” commanding a pin-prick silence that screamed volumes. Even the children, of whom there were many in attendance, went quiet.
