NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) – New Orleans-born actor Anthony Mackie has had roles in “The Hurt Locker” and he’ll be in the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War.”
But he stopped by the Twist set to talk about his other passion. Mackie wants to help send the Warren Easton jazz band to Cuba. While in Cuba students will attend a week-long arts, music and cultural immersion program.
Project organizers want to start an exchange program between Warren Easton and students in Santiago de Cuba. They say both groups of students can learn from each other as they face unprecedented change.
If you want to help, here’s the jazz band’s gofundme page.
