Engage with various local non-profits serving our community’s youth and families. Learn about their services. Get to know local small business owners. Experience captivating performances by local talent. Enjoy a live performance of “The Meeting,” a power play paying homage to Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. View “Laurel Avenue,” a groundbreaking film released in 1993 depicting a family in the Rondo neighborhood. Engage with community panelists during a Q&A. Indulge in food and refreshments provided by local food vendors.
In 2023, the Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health sponsored the play performance at eight local area schools in front of approximately 1,500 students and faculty. Following the 20-minute performance is a 40-minute Q&A session. During this session, performers engage with the audience on the things Martin and Malcolm fought for and how some of those things still affect our society today. This creates a safe dialogue with young people and those who work with young people to discuss mental health. At the Revive event, the Q&A will be hosted by a panel of community members, bringing awareness to how the day-to-day stresses of life affect our youth and children’s mental health and their caregivers. We remind the community that it takes a Village, and together, we are stronger.
This event is brought to you by Armor Bearers of Christ Church and sponsored by the Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health and Westbone Productions.
