Written by more than 50 contributors, Stories from Alternate ROOTS chronicles the origins and fifty-year journey of a nonprofit arts organization that began in 1976. Bringing together interviews, poems, illustrations and essays, both personal and analytical, the diverse stories touch on a wide range of lessons, philosophies, issues and themes including the transformative power of community arts, democratic leadership, racial and gender equity, and navigating organizational and generational change.
