WNDR Museum’s Post

I suggest this movie is viewed by as many people as possible. Sumner High School, Kansas City, Kansas and Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Missouri are both now academy's with high bars to enter and a culturally diverse student population.....BUT AT WHAT COST? At one-time, both schools were African-American community schools, with African American administrations and the schools produced some of the most successful lawyers, doctors, engineers, scientists, athletes! Although segregated, they produced and were led by black excellence. Now we can't have that! So, what did they do! How do we have the same scenario on both sides of the state line? What Regional Planning Council drives the design and resource access for communities? Is this an algorithm of control of power and wealth through displacement and allocation of resources or withholding resources. Our problems of high poverty, poor healthcare index, and other socio-economic ills contained within communities of high population of minorities are internal, not external. I don't blame the mythical MAN, I blame those within that do the bidding and work of the mythical MAN! https://lnkd.in/g5bnVPMR

OhioSE highlights a powerful message from Spoken's founder Michael Bond in their latest interview: "People who can’t speak still have something to say: they have their minds, emotions, and intelligence and want to be a part of everyday life. The more tools that we can give them to be a part of that, the better." #SpokenAAC #AAC #AssistiveTechnology

Are you looking for a different high school option this coming year? Is your high school student a gifted & talented musician? Actor? Photographer? Dancer? Animator? Graphic Designer? Artist? Creative writer? Or overall creative? Or does your student WANT to be? We are actively auditioning students for the upcoming year!! What does this mean? Students must audition as part of the enrollment process to enter into a specific program. Singers sing to audition for the choir; musicians play to audition for the band, orchestra, guitar cohort, or piano cohort; actors perform a monologue to audition for theater or film & acting; photographers/ graphic designers/artists/filmographers/creatives submit a portfolio and explain their work to enter into the photography, graphic design, art, filmography, & Creatives programs; etc. After the audition, students complete an interview with the Executive Director and a Board member. When the audition is complete, audition judges decide if the school is a good fit for the student, the student is gifted, or if the student shows promise & potential. The Exec. Director & Board member decide if the student is a good fit for the school in terms of character, career goals, and overall demeanor. If we decide that the student would be successful at PAFANTX, then the Exec. Director sends out an invitation for the student to enroll. The last step of the process is a family interview to ensure that parents have the opportunity to discuss individual goals and aspirations for their student at the school. It is also an opportunity for the Exec. Director to answer any last minute questions or concerns before the enrollment process is complete.

Such an important short documentary to watch today about the use of Eminent Domain & the consequences of it.

This is a suitably erudite though unsuitably non-comedic piece about Woody Allen and his New York. I quote : 'In Woody Allen movies, Manhattan-based high culture contributes decisively to the drama of big city life, as all the spats and love affairs play out against the backdrop of art museums and galleries, bookstores, the Hayden Planetarium, Central Park, celebrated works of architecture and infrastructure, and concert halls. Allen is one of the last of a dying breed: an intellectual without a college education. At his parent’s urging, he gave it a try at NYU and City College, but even to describe him as a dropout would overstate his level of engagement. Who needed college when you had Manhattan? This effect was intended by the city’s Gilded Age ruling class when they founded, as public benefits, institutions such as Carnegie Hall, Grand Central Terminal, and the New York Public Library. One of the most convincing cases New York can make that it contributes to middle-class flourishing is based on the accessibility of high culture'. 'We don’t turn to Woody Allen for policy prescriptions, though. He never had much advice to offer about how to save the city. But he did have much to say about why it was worth saving in the first place'. I add: the paragraph spaces - and paucity of them - come from the original. Clearly if this had been my work I wouldn't have been so promiscuous with blank space. #cities #culture #woodyallen #nyc #brooklyn Manhattan Institute
