Mayor Scott says 'White-ran' arts orgs are overfunded, unveils COVID diversity grant

Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott shared his disappointment Tuesday that too much public money has gone to arts organizations that "just happen to be White-ran."
The comment came during the announcement of a $3.6 million "Diversity in Arts" grant funded by COVID-19 relief dollars. Capital grant recipients include the The National Great Blacks In Wax Museum on North Avenue and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum.

    So, y'all really think that a black man with power would try to squelch racism rather than exploit it...hahaha!

    How TF is a black man going to squelch racism in America? Only the actual racists can do that, and they're busy collecting arts dollars.

    It’s not really divisive in my opinion . I’m proud of what you are doing Mayor Scott. It seems similar to how the state increased funding for HBCU’s, like Coppin and Morgan. They had been neglected and underfunded for decades. Now they have beautiful campuses with modern buildings like Towson and UMBC. 👏🏽👏🏽
