Last week, Disney brought the Captain America treatment to Dillard University! Captain America: Brave New World star, New Orleans' own, Anthony Mackie visited Dillard University to host a fireside chat, moderated by New Orleans artist, BMike.
Dillard University students, other local HBCU students and the surrounding Gentilly community attended the event as Anthony Mackie discussed the start of his acting career, growing up in the Gentilly area, and the importance of coming back to your original foundation. He also mentioned his high school acting teacher, Dillard University Theatre's own Raymond Vrazel, who assisted him in taking the necessary steps that helped guide him on the right track for his acting career.
Thank you again to Disney, Anthony Mackie and BMike for putting on such an insightful event for the students and the Gentilly community!
