Springfield News-Leader: MSU effort to combat global terrorism gaining traction
The Missouri State University Ad Team's One95 campaign — to combat global terrorism — has recently gained international attention. In late September, the effort was highlighted during a seminar about "Challenging Extremism: Engaging the Successor Generation" in Washington, D.C.
The seminar was attended by more than 100 people from 37 different countries. Using the concept created by the MSU Ad Team, the seminar featured first-person narratives and programs representing different regions and approaches. The seminar also looked at how several nations are developing counter-extremism initiatives that may have applicability to a wider community of nations.
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
