We are incredibly moved and inspired by the debut of "Voices of Peace Project Sound Track" by the brilliant Robert Childers, a talented student from the Jefferson County International Baccalaureate (JCIB). Robert’s work beautifully captures the heart, rhythm, and vision of this project.

​A project like this truly takes a village, and our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who made this collaboration possible:

To the Birmingham Museum of Art: Thank you for your incredible partnership, guidance, and for providing a space where youth creativity can truly shine. Lydia Walker truly went above and beyond.
