CAM is also the steward of an important African American heritage site, the Battle of Forks Road.

We use art as a means of sparking dialogue and creating community conversations that create a fuller understanding of our common history and our shared humanity.

A huge thank you to Faith & Harmony for filling CAM with powerful voices, joyful harmonies, and the rich traditions of gospel music this past Sunday!

Their uplifting performance was a beautiful reminder of the importance of preserving gospel music's roots and passing these songs and stories on to the next generation.
