State of Our Union: Watts Prophets plus very special guests

Bringing it home from the other side, the Watts Prophets make a rare New York appearance featuring a poetry orchestra made up of local children and very special guests. Rising from the ashes of the 1965 Watts riots and formed at the Watts Writer's Workshop, The Watts Prophets set their socially and politically conscious poetry to spare, often jazzy musical backing. They remain dedicated community activists today, promoting creative self-expression and the arts to young people around the country.

Peaceful Tomorrows International Conference

September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows looked outwards after September 11th, to make a connection between what happened to our family members that day and the experience of terrorism, violence and war affecting other families all over the world. Their goal was to find common ground and to move towards a time when no family, anywhere, had to experience the losses they experienced.
