Iya's DAICOR dedication  Iya has participated in an amazing virtual fellowship with the Cultural Vistas and the Heinrich Böll  Foundation in Washington, D.C.  The 2021 DAICOR program began with an introductory meeting with our German participants on June 16th.  In eight sessions the experts will discuss current initiatives to diversify memorialization in public space with experts and practitioners from organizations in Berlin and Hamburg.  From July 20th to August 4th, the U.S. program will consist of virtual meetings with resources in Washington, D.C., Richmond or Charlottesville, Va., and Montgomery, Ala. August 4, 2021, is their last day and the fellows will devise practical approaches, campaigns, or action plans that further contribute to an inclusive and tolerant culture of remembrance and aim for joint cooperative projects.  So, Iya dedicates this Jadestone Vintage Soul set to her fellow DAICOR cohorts, Cultural Vistas, Heinrich Böll Foundation, and presenters.
