Justin Carr Wants World Peace Foundation (JCWWPF) was a co-sponsor of a program on civil rights titled "From TIll to SNCC & Beyond" staged at the historic, Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, CA. The evening was a showcase of live performance, multimedia & visual art presentations marking two pivotal milestones that galvanized the Civil Rights Movement. The first was the 70th commemoration of the 1955 white supremacy-driven Mississippi murder of Black Chicago teen Emmett Till, as well as the brave decision of his mother Mamie Till-Mobley to allow an open-casket funeral and published photos of his tortured body for the world to see racism's wrath. The second commemorated milestone was the 65th anniversary of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee aka SNCC-founded by college students Emmett's age when he was killed, who fearlessly fought against Jim Crow with historic sit-ins, Freedom Rides, and grassroots voting rights campaigns across the segregated South.
  4. $2,927 spent. The Justin Carr Wants World Peace Foundation donated an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to the United Pentecostal Church of Orlando, Inc. ($1492) and $1,235 in art supplies to the Ben Hulse Elementary School.
