Dr. Cross beautifully, respectfully, and resolutely introduces frameworks for Social Justice to Visual Art teachers working for Dallas ISD during professional development week at Dallas Contemporary.

The dialogues and topics surrounding the U.S./Mexico border are extraordinarily complex; discussion subjects are inherently tied to both countries’ economies, budgets, national security, and the civil and human liberties of their citizens. In honor of Margarita Cabrera’s exhibition "It is Impossible to Cover the Sun with a Finger," Dallas Contemporary and the SMU Mission Foods Texas/Mexico Center hosted a panel discussion on these key issues moderated by Luisa del Rosal, the Executive Director of the SMU Mission Foods Texas/Mexico Center. Panelists included Alfredo Corchado of the Dallas Morning News and Neil Foley of the Clements Center for Southwest Studies.
