Alberto Carvalho, Superintendent, Miami-Dade County Schools, offers thoughts on Light/The Holocaust and Humanity Project and why Holocaust education and tolerance training still need to be addressed today.

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
George Santayana

This project began with Ballet Austin, and now the Adrienne Arsht Center proudly brings LIGHT / THE HOLOCAUST & HUMANITY PROJECT to South Florida.  This program will be a three-month, county-wide human rights collaboration that will focus attention on the work that is being done in Miami-Dade County toward the protection of human rights against bigotry and hate. 
 
From August 4 – November 4, the Arsht Center is convening community organizations, in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League, in a county-wide calendar of performances, activities, education programs and public forums.

"Art doesn't change the world, people change the world, but art can be the catalyst for the discussion."
