Jackie Taylor of BET

There's a very nice interview with Black Ensemble Theater founder Jackie Taylor in The Reader this week. One part we like very much:

"There's always a new goal. I want to build a community here on this street. I think Black Ensemble is the anchor for a transformation, kind of like what Old Town School of Folk Music did for Lincoln Park. We're seeing transformation now, but I think there's space for so much more."
