Dear Community Members,
Please join us for the first 2015 Deeper Change Forum featuring special guest, David Mura on the topic:
OUR LIVES MATTER: EQUITY IN THE ARTS & SOCIETY
 David says: "Racial
questions are often framed at the level of personal interactions or
beliefs. But truly addressing racial inequities requires a broader, more
systemic framework--whether in economics, the justice or education
system, or other problematic areas.
Starting with the arts, my own field, this talk aims at reframing the ways we think about racial inequities."
David
