Eli Yamin reflects on his time in Mississippi at the 2009 Summer Institute:

“The trip to Mississippi was amazing. The photo above captures the sheer joy we felt at the culmination of the workshop performance of Nora’s Ark, the jazz musical by Clifford Carlson and me. Judi Holifield, Director of Whole Schools Initiative, sponsored by the Mississippi Arts Commission, brought me down to University of Mississippi at Oxford, MS to give workshops and perform for teachers. These are teachers empowered and inspired by art ready to change and uplift the world!”
