Description: Celebrate Life Vest Inside's World Kindness Day Festivities with Dr David Laz. Talk Description: The C.U.R.E. Begins With YOU! Overcoming our own stereotypes and imaginary walls and reaching out to the "other side." Dr. David Lazerson, aka - Dr. Laz, is an award wining author, educator, musician, and conflict resolution specialist. Just weeks after race riots occurred in Crown Heights, NYC, he was called upon to be the liaison between the Hassidic and African-American communities. Working together with two Black youth leaders, they started Project C.U.R.E., which has grown over the years to include dialogues, multi-cultural event, joint sports activities, and a music group, Dr. Laz & The CURE, that has opened for Al Green, The Winans, US Congress, and for communities throughout the world. Dr. Laz's book, Sharing Turf - Race Relations After The Crown Heights Riots, was used to write the screenplay for the movie "Crown Heights," which stars TV personality Howie Mandel as Dr. Laz. He's received the "Teacher of the Year" award from two different public school systems, including Buffalo, NY in 1980 and south Florida's Broward County Schools (the country's 6th largest school district) in 2007. He was one of five educators to be inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame in 2008. With the onset of Covid-19 and our new reality, Life Vest Inside is motivated more than ever to ensure that our emotional connection is alive and well, although we may not be able to connect physically.
