Press Release: Black Lives Matter - The Peace and Racial Harmony Lesson

This Juneteenth, Cotuit Center for the Arts is proud to host the latest installment of the Black Lives Matter series, titled Black Lives Matter - The Peace and Racial Harmony Lesson. The Black Lives Matter series of presentations is written by Robin Joyce Miller and presented by James Walter Miller and Robin Joyce Miller. The presentation will premiere on Monday, June 19 on Cotuit Center for the Arts’ You Tube video on demand Channel.

The Black Lives Matter series is the creation of artists, poets, educators, and ardent Center members James Walter Miller and Robin Joyce Miller. The series kicked off in August 2020 with “Restoring My African Soul,” a multi-media performance addressing an artist’s struggle from black shame to African American pride through art and poetry. Past presentations have included “Black Lives Matter in the Soul of America,” “Black Children Matter: Discovering African American History,”“Coming Black to Cape Cod – Black History of Cape Cod,” and “Black Kingdoms Matter” among many others.

In each installment of the Black Lives Matter series, the Millers explore new topics with the goal of engaging the local community in conversations and cultural experiences surrounding the specific challenges of racial diversity and inclusion on the Cape—discussing subjects such as slavery, the Civil Rights movement, and racial harmony.

“This series is done with love and respect for a culture and people who have been devalued throughout the world,” says Robin. “We do this work to honor our heritage and enlighten people, even as we learn from each project. Our hope is that viewers will attain new information and expand their perspectives on the lives of all people. In truth, we are one race—The Human Race.”
