An Intergenerational Conversation

This generation is as enthusiastic about our project as their parents and grandparents. So much so that we've begun engaging young audiences with the inspiring story of Gene Washington and his teammates who left the segregated South to attend MSU and pursue a better life through athletics and education. In this global age where scandals and million dollar salaries dominate media attention, we are offering a rare glimpse into the lives of early pioneers of the game, their sacrifices, and tremendous achievements.

We've built a network of Community Partners and have Corporate Sponsorship opportunities as well.

Maya Washington is a fiscal year 2013 Recipient of an Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.  This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature and by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

This project has been made possible by the Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
