Haiti Repatriation and Cultural Preservation Project Lauded by the Clinton GIobal Initiative
The Green Family Foundation (GFF) partnered with the Association for Cultural Equity (ACE) on the remastering of recordings and film by famed ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax. The result was the Haiti Box Set, a compendium of recordings made by Alan Lomax in Haiti in the 1930s. The recordings languished in the Library of Congress until the ACE, led by Lomax's daughter, Anna Lomax Wood, spearheaded the effort to bring the recordings to light with the help of GFF.
In 2009 the project was acknowledged by President William Jefferson Clinton at the annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. ACE's Haiti Repatriation and Cultural Preservation Project was selected as an outstanding project of the Clinton Global Initiative in Haiti, sponsored by the Green Family Foundation, a partner of the CGI.
