In an interview before a concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington on Georgia Public Broadcasting, the American conductor Marin Alsop criticized the current direction of AH Trump’s Kennedy Center, where the American dictator wants to ban everything that corresponds to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Alsop demands that no barriers should be erected.
« This is a wonderful performing arts center. And it’s a place of inclusion, not exclusion. And there shouldn’t be any kind of barriers for people. What is American? What is anti-American? I mean, this sounds like the 1950s to me. »
The conductor thus alludes to McCarthyism, the political repression and persecution of left-wing individuals.
