Obama Foundation w/ Dyett HS for the Arts

The conversation between community and the institution is very important. There was a lot of resistance to the news that the presidential center would be coming to Chicago and taking up public space on the South Side. Many residents opposed the decision because it’s an intruption of the public space that have come to know and have faught for.
One action can’t speak to everyone’s concerns but what you can do is engage the community and that is what the Obama Foundation is doing. I want to say thank you for bringing me in to work with the teens at Dyett and I’m very grateful to have gotten to know then and to have done this project with them. It was an extraordinary experience at an extraordinary time in my life.
