-	Mike Nurse	PERCEPTIONS & REALITIES IN MINORITY BOSTON: I think the intention behind this topic was to actually have a discussion about the perceptions verses the realities rather than not addressing that fact whether aspects are real or not they affect how people in the city behave. Again to me this about the conditions for architect. The advisory group commented that a seminar inside the convention is not the right place for this discussion. However maybe there are ways of planning artistic events that get at the heart of this issue. – Jay A short list of people the participants, the organizers, and/or liaison or contact who would be first step in getting the idea off the ground. – Contact Information, Email Address, Phone, etc.
