The mission of Alliance of Ethics & Art is to educate the public about social justice and ethical issues through funding projects by artists in various media which increase public awareness of racism and other societal concerns and encourage people to explore solutions based on the principles of Aesthetic Realism the education founded by the poet and philosopher Eli Siegel (1902-78). Alliance of Ethics & Art assists artists in dissemina-ting, performing, broadcasting, and displaying these works to the public. Projects include a book, oral history project, and television documentary about participants in the struggle for civil rights, and other works in photography, literature, drama, film, video, music, architectural models, and/or mixed media.

The Force of Ethics in Civil Rights

Videotaped interviews by journalist and Aesthetic Realism Associate Alice Bernstein with men and women throughout the country whose lives and courageous actions in behalf of justice are evidence of what Eli Siegel explained: that ethics is a living thing in reality and in people throughout history. In this oral history and television documentary, we meet over 90 people who made America kinder, more just--and who deserve our nation's acknowledgment and gratitude.
