The Omni-American Future Project, a groundbreaking initiative committed to fighting racism and antisemitism in the United States through the unifying power of music and culture, has announced the launch of its 2024-25 Ambassadors Program.
The Ambassadors Program, made possible thanks to a fruitful partnership between the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) and the Mistler Family Foundation, is a five-month course immersing a cohort of six distinguished young professionals in the “Omni-American” tradition through the works of Albert Murray, Ralph Ellison, and Stanley Crouch, among others.
Members of this year’s Ambassadors Program class include:
Reuben Berman
Domo Branch
Angel Eduardo
Dr. Sheena Michele Mason
David Ben Moshe
John Wood Jr.
Full bios of the participants are available HERE.
Established in 2020, the Omni-American Future Project was conceived by leaders of CAM, the American Sephardi Federation (ASF), and Jazz Leadership Project (JLP) to foster collaboration and mutual understanding between people of all backgrounds, with a revitalized Black American-Jewish relationship at its core.
Greg Thomas of JLP and Aryeh Tepper of ASF serve as co-directors of the Omni-American Future Project, which emphasizes character and culture, not color.
The project’s variation on the nation’s motto, E Pluribus Unum is: “Out of many, one pursuit of civic and cultural excellence.”
