Green Family supports The Adrienne Arsht Center’s newest program, The Ninth

Print Email

Last month, The Green Family Foundation has the honor of attending Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts' 15th Anniversary Reunion Gala to celebrate the Center's impactful arts education & engagement programs. The introduction of The Ninth - an immersive theatre experience to bring youth mental health awareness to high schools across Miami Dade County - inspired Kimberly Green, Mireille Charles, and the Green Family Foundation to donate $15,000 to support its launch.

"The Green Family Foundation recognizes the importance of good emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing in teens, influencing their interaction with others, and their ability to handle stress and social interactions. The Arsht Center is uniquely positioned to reach Miami-Dade County’s teens through innovative and creative interventions. We are proud to support their efforts," Kimberly Green said.

When Liberty Burns 

International University Foundation’s Office of Inclusive Philanthropy, in collaboration with Florida International University’s Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and the Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab, is pleased to present another Virtual Roundtable entitled:

"When Liberty Burns: Race Relations in America"
Click here to view the trailer.

"When Liberty Burns," a documentary directed by Dudley Alexis, highlights the life and death of Arthur L. McDuffie. On December 17, 1979, after failing to stop for a traffic light, police officers gave chase. After realizing he could not escape, McDuffie surrendered. He was beaten until he lost consciousness. That beating by multiple officers caused his death. Acquittal of the offending officers charged in the murder sparked a civil disturbance in Miami’s urban core.

The “McDuffie Riots” ultimately changed Miami-Dade County and became a symbol of the city’s struggle to contend with race relations and its sordid history during the Jim Crow era. May 25, 2021, will mark one year since George Floyd was killed while in police custody. This virtual Roundtable Discussion will highlight Race Relations and the role of White supremacy and American policing.

Roundtable Presenters:
Dudley Alexis, Independent Filmmaker and Visual Artist
Terrance Cribbs-Lorrant, Executive Director, City of Miami Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum
Valerie L. Patterson, Ph.D., Director, African & African Diaspora Studies and Clinical Professor, Public Administration, Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs
Chanelle N. Rose '97, MA '99, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Rowan University and Author
