Art is a helpful tool to process and understand this history and its legacies. We are always looking for ways to engage local artists in this process as a way to interpret and understand what it means for our community to reckon with its history and advocate for advances in social justice.
We’re excited to be celebrating the fifth annual presentation of The Green Book Project, a collaboration between Bush Hills STEAM Academy, the Arts Collab, The Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, and the Jefferson County Memorial Project with support from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, Mike & Gillian Goodrich Foundation, and The Gratitude Foundation. This program, aimed at teaching our community’s talented youth about empathy and advocacy through learning about The Green Book, enables us to accomplish our mission of educating young leaders in our community.
Together, we’re engaging the talented youth in our community to teach history through the arts.
