A Visual Arts Project, for Students ages 4-College and
Communities… Interdependence Day, the day after 9/11, was
designated in 2003 by Dr. Benjamin Barber and Mrs. Sondra Myers, to
mark a time to reflect on the weaknesses of a world that does not see
itself as connected to injustice or the needs of others and to ask what
can/should be done to create a more civil, peace-minded just world.
