Indianapolis program using the arts to build understanding between various communities
It’s a mission to help build respect and understanding between various communities, especially the black community and the Jewish community through the arts and dialogue. Kimberly Ewing, Chief Operating Officer, Starfish Initiative, and Lev Rothenberg, Director of Arts & Education, Jewish Community Center, come together to explain THE UNITY PROJECT, an ongoing community initiative, initially started by the Arts and Education Department of the JCC.
ABOUT: The Unity Project brings people together in hopes of building deeper understanding and new vision. Its steering committee is composed of influential members from the Jewish and black communities. Permanent partners in The Unity Project include the JCC, The Indianapolis Urban League, The Efroymson Family Fund, JCRC (Jewish Community Relations Council) and the Starfish Initiative and leaders of all of these organizations actively participate on the steering committee.
