Unique Contribution
From, Let Our Loss Be Heard, “That Time I Talked to Race” Poem
MCRC’s unique contribution to the national conversation on race is its use of the arts—dance, music, theater, poetry, visual arts—to reenact stories that connect us with the past so that we might understand the present. The MCRC Project gives us a way to communicate the unimaginable amount of work it took to divide us and the resulting emotional toll. For example, MCRC personifies Race so we can hear how the dividing took place.
