As part of an event to celebrate the relationship between the two border cities: Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, Yo Yo Ma played his cello in a park near the Juarez-Lincoln International Bridge, one of the bridges that connect the United States and Mexico.
"As you all know, as you did and do and will do, in culture, we build bridges, not walls," Ma said today. I've lived my life at the borders. Between cultures. Between disciplines. Between musics. Between generations."
Here's to his efforts to recognize that hierarchies can't survive when we honor diversity in our nation and abroad.
