No Tears Suite - Panel Discussion | 2019
This event took place on March 1st, 2019.
This panel discussion was presented in collaboration with the National Park Service and Clinton School of Public Service, and held at Central High School National Historic Site. Moderated by composer Chris Parker, the panel featured Rufus Reid, Kelley Hurt, and Bobby LaVell.
The goal is to facilitate discussion on the ongoing work of social equity in the United States from the perspectives of people living in different communities and what role music and the arts play in affecting change in our society today.
Additional partners on the project include University of Central Arkansas College of Fine Arts & Communication, Central High National Historic Site, Kay Kelley Arnold, Mid-America Arts Alliance, National Endowment for the Arts, Arkansas Arts Council, and Mosaic Templars Cultural Center.
