I happened to catch this story on 60 Minutes this weekend and was so encouraged at how this ended for these talented young people.

"60 Minutes" recently highlighted the impact of President Trump's executive order on diversity programs. The highlight showcased a group of talented young musicians of color who were denied the opportunity to perform with the U.S. Marine Band.

The musicians, selected through a nonprofit supporting diversity in orchestras, were set to play but had to cancel due to the order.

In response, 60 Minutes organized a concert featuring the youth and retired military musicians, emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion in the arts. The episode underscored the value of embracing diversity and the power of music to unite and express humanity. (Source: Deadline)

I hope these young people have had the time of their lives. I also hope that more will step up amidst these uncertain times.
