Aaron Paul Dworkin

#Diversity

Aaron Paul Dworkin is a Black, White, Jewish, Irish Catholic, who was adopted as an infant by a Jehovah's Witness family.

His wife, Afa, is an Azerbaijani, Muslim, Jewish, first-generation immigrant.

Their sons are in inter-racial relationships.

They are thankful the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that banning inter-racial marriage violates the United States Constitution (1967).

Aaron was President Obama's first nominee to the National Council on the Arts.

He is a consummate violinist, a MacArthur Fellow, and named one of Newsweek magazine's 15 People Who Make America Great.

Honors include Royal Philharmonic Society Honorary Member, a recipient of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's Lifetime Achievement Award, and holds The Luise Vosgerchian Teaching Award at Harvard.
