From an interview last night with Jefferson Public Radio in southern Oregon:
Q: President Trump said no more drag shows or other anti-American propaganda at the Kennedy Center.
Alsop: I’m not really privy to sort of everything that’s gone on behind the scenes, but I know that this is a wonderful orchestra. This is a wonderful performing arts center. And it’s a place of inclusion, not exclusion. And there shouldn’t be any kind of barriers for people. What is American? What is anti-American? I mean, this sounds like the 1950s to me. But I know that so many board members — previous board members — were incredibly generous, financially and with their support, with their time. And I hope that the president will be equally supportive.
