Jackson A. Waters' (Steinhardt Class of 2024) orchestral symphony Defending Greenwood was written in dedication to the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Inspired by history passed down from his mother, Jackson wants to shed light on tragedies ignored by his childhood curriculum. NYU Orchestra debuted the third movement of his piece on Tuesday, April 9 at the Skirball Center.
