“It’s an act of service,” said Blount-Trotter of The War and Treaty’s exhilarating, joyous performances. “To get up there and remind people how great they are, it’s a responsibility for us. We want to bring that joy to our audience.””Our duty as human beings is to love one another … (and) make sure that we all know just how much we matter,” Trotter added. “It’s not that we just matter, but we matter to one another.” —The War and Treaty, 8/8/2018
