#YouCantControlArt. Our Children’s Social Justice Council ensures that we support the development of local activism through various forms of education related art and history projects focused on civil rights and anti discrimination. We firmly believe that the fight against state sanctioned discrimination is strengthened through the use of knowledge and promotion of process, policy and history.
