Lin-Manuel Miranda said it best…“My musical,
In the Heights, explores issues of community, gentrification, identity,
and home, and the question: Are happy endings only ones that involve
getting out of your neighborhood to achieve your dreams? In her
refreshing new book, Majora Carter writes about these issues with great
insight and clarity, asking us to re-examine our notions of what
community development is and how we invest in the futures of our
hometowns. This is an exciting conversation worth joining.”
We are excited to have MacArthur 'Genius Grant' Fellow and Peabody
Award-Winning Broadcaster Majora Carter, lead a workshop that
facilitates this wonderful discussion on how we invest in our
communities, which is indeed one of the highest expressions of creating
joy.
