Submit Your Reflection
Reflection Prompt
We honor the advocacy, leadership, and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Dr. King described the ways nonviolent direct action can establish creative tension, illustrating issues a community can no longer ignore. Grounded in our belief that “The arts are central to the human experience and have the ability to not only reflect reality but create it,” we ask our VCFA community to pause and reflect on Dr. King’s leadership, and the ways artistic expression contributes to the manifestation of creative tension to create a more equitable and inclusive world.
