“Historically, the arts have always fulfilled the dual roles of responding to change while at the same time creating change. Claudia Rankine’s poem, Weather, is a poem that gives voice to the voiceless, especially those who have been and continue to be marginalized because of difference. It responds to and reflects realities that are both culturally specific and humanly universal. Claudia Rankine challenges all of us (no matter your background or lived experience) to know better, to do better, to take action, and to become agents of social justice and social change.”
-Rollo Dilworth
André Thomas: Mass of Love and Joy
