The event will begin with a musical performance by CAPITA (City at Peace in the Arts) Productions, and then the focus of the presentation will be on racism and how it affects and harms the spirit of man - both Black and White - in America.
St. Clair is focused on addressing the most vital and challenging issue (racism) in this country and the importance of centering the roles of people of African descent, the Pupil of the Eye, in the work of the Faith.

Excite your mind, come to your senses. Howâs this for a perfect pairing? Public libraries foster literacy, culture, health, creativity, communityâthey are indispensable for an educated society. Given this, itâs only natural that every librarian I visited was excited to promote Wormfarm Institute's upcoming Farm/Art DTour.
Come to any of these libraries and pick up a DTour guide. Youâll find interesting reading, beautiful art, meaningful poetry, and tasty recipes in both the guide and the libraries.
