"Honored to be appointed to the Smithsonian Advisory Board, meeting this week with my colleagues Robert N Johnson and George Edwards, as the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage Festival begins this weekend at the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington D.C."
Ednews reports that Heidi Thomas Kuhn, the founder and CEO of Roots of Peace NGO shared it on her Facebook page.
H. Kuhn noted that the Festival is a remarkable cultural crossroad for musicians, artists, scholars, and all visitors who embrace the opportunity to broaden their cultural horizons:
Stories of culture and tradition bring us together. They have the power to bridge race, religion, and socioeconomic differences. Join us in the power of culture to create common ground, raise every voice and invest in cultural equity."
"Together, may we plant the Roots of Peace on Earth. Happy 4th of July Weekend!", the founder of the organization concluded.
