YEAR-END REPORT
HARLEM
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load.

A Raisin in the Sun: Performance & Panel Discussion On May 20th, 250 university internal and external stakeholders helped fill the Guthrie's Proscenium Theater with the goal of engaging members of the business community and business students in an experiential opportunity to help shape the role of business in cultivating racial justice and social equity in the Twin Cities. Before viewing the highly emotional production of A Raisin in the Sun , guests listened to a panel discussion between esteemed panelists, Austene Van, director of A Raisin in the Sun and producing artistic director of the Yellow Tree Theater; Yohuru Williams, founding director, University of St. Thomas Racial Justice Initiative; and Tina Burnside, cofounder and curator of the Minnesota African American Heritage Museum and Gallery (MAAHMG).
