Last May, Wyton Marsalis and Bryan Stevenson sat down for a wide-ranging virtual conversation to discuss the necessity and importance of art in understanding the identity and history of the United States. Stevenson delved into the idea of Black excellence that inspires him to honor the resilience of Black artists such as Mahalia Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie, and Louis Armstrong, who persevered through prejudice and humiliation to find brilliance and genius. GRoW is honored to support a new animated short that captures highlights from the engaging conversation between Marsalis and Stevenson — and it can be viewed here.
