"As an artist, you have to be the person that builds bridges, that has the key that opens doors that are closed, to open the conversation, and always reach out to people. Music has nothing to do with hate." —Singer, songwriter, and activist Angélique Kidjo, speaking at the 2015 APAP Conference

Watch Kidjo's full closing plenary at the Association of Performing Arts' Presenters (APAP) 2015 Conference.
