Art & Ideas Shared at Community Forum

The Judkins Park community enjoyed performances from Thurgood Marshall Elementary students in a packed hall at the Northwest African American Museum last Friday afternoon during a community celebration honoring Justice Marshall. [See the program here.]
Community Art Activity:  "What Thurgood Marshall Means to Us."

The community also shared its ideas for the public youth art project commemorating Justice Marshall that will be installed at the elementary school this summer as part of Coyote Central's Hit the Streets program. [Read our summary of the dialogue here!]

Participants shared ideas through a group discussion and a drawing and writing exercise, entitled "What Thurgood Marshall Means to Us."  The ideas are currently on display at Thurgood Marshall Elementary and will later inform the Hit the Streets artists.
