Arts Education as a Human Right: A Conversation with Alfre Woodard
McKibben, Sarah
Educational Leadership, v76 n4 p48-52 Dec 2018
You may recognize her as the formidable Mariah Dillard in Netflix's Marvel series Luke Cage or from popular films like 12 Years a Slave. Alfre Woodard is an award-winning actor on stage and screen, but her work behind the scenes as an arts education advocate is equally notable. As a mentoring artist for the Kennedy Center's Turnaround Arts program, Woodard volunteers in high-needs schools to teach kids how to express themselves artistically. In this exclusive interview, Woodard makes an impassioned plea to give all children access to arts education. It's not only a civil right, she says, but a "human right."
