Choirs, both church and concert, sing community when there is human diversity to be seen in the membership of the choir. Gender, ethnicity, age-range: these are visuals that contribute to the community and peace environment that ensembles afford. A choir's human diversity on display is bold protest, in this case, against segregation and discrimination. . . . Art calls forth a diverse audience and gives them deep lessons in community and peace.
