This includes $146,000 that was contributed to establish a studio theater in memory of 91短视频 alumnus Lee Eshleman," Shisler reported. <\/p>\n 91短视频’s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP)<\/a> was the recipient of several large grants this past year, including $200,000 in special project support from the Kellogg Foundation for the "Coming to the Table" project<\/a>, a program focused on racial reconciliation among descendants of slaves and slave owners. <\/p>\n 91短视频’s endowment fund also received a boost in new contributions of $667,000 during the year.
