YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown City School District Visual and Performing Arts students have released a virtual performance to commemorate the anniversary of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., to end discrimination in voter registration.
On March 7, 1965, about 600 people, led by John Lewis and Hosea Williams, began to march the 54 miles from Selma to Montgomery, the state capital, to register black voters.
Winter project shares the idea âEven Apart, We Are Togetherâ
Dec 10, 2020
YOUNGSTOWN The COVID-19 pandemic can’t silence the voices and music of Youngstown City School District’s Visual and Performing Arts program.
This past summer, Tracy Schuler Vivo, the district’s director of visual and performing arts, teamed up with Dan Keown of Youngstown State University to collaborate on a virtual winter performance piece entitled, “Together.”
The winter collaborative performance project encompasses the idea that “Even Apart, We Are Together.”
“Obviously, having to work virtually can create some challenges for our visual and performing arts teachers and scholars and I wanted to create an opportunity for scholars to have a high-level collaborative experience in light of their limited visual and performing arts class time during remote learning this school year,” Schuler Vivo said.
