The Boy and the Pearl
The fable, The Boy and the Pearl, was inspired by the murder of journalist Daniel Pearl. Rather than using his death to fuel hatred and divisiveness, the reaction of his family and friends was to celebrate his life and promote the values that were important to him: cross-cultural understanding through music and communication. The Boy and the Pearl is a reminder that even in the worst of circumstances, we can find hope.
