Turning the Kennedy Center from "Woke" to White? - EBONY

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts website states it is "a true ‘artistic mecca,’ and one of the world’s most respected organizations." But how can it be one if its sitting board all share the same views, one that has no space for diversity, inclusion and innovation?

that entire piece rests on an absurd premise ... 47 doesn't actually give a fig about the Kennedy Center and (unless he can work a grift) he's not gonna lift a finger to fundraise for it.

Trump wants to destroy this place, it is going to function in a half abused state until the wheels totally fall off and he knocks it down to build a hotel or some nonsense

I know you're talking about the KC, but you might as well be talking about the country altogether. We're just short time away from living in the full blown fascist state. Trump just sold down the river Ukraine and all of our European allies. Poland 1938 textbook. History quite literally repeats itself in front of our eyes and it seems nobody cares.

Nope, by the Kennedy Center.
