Issa Rae Cancels Kennedy Center Event After Donald Trump Named Chairman

Issa Rae has decided to cancel her upcoming event at the Kennedy Center following the announcement of Donald Trump’s appointment as chairman of the venue’s board. The actress, writer, and producer cited concerns over what she sees as an infringement on the values upheld by the iconic institution, which has long been known for celebrating artists of diverse backgrounds across various mediums.
In a statement explaining her decision, Rae expressed her disappointment: “Unfortunately, due to what I believe to be an infringement on the values of an institution that has faithfully celebrated artists of all backgrounds through all mediums, I’ve decided to cancel my appearance at this venue.”

Rae’s cancellation comes in the wake of growing backlash surrounding Trump’s controversial appointment, which has sparked debate over his influence on cultural spaces and the arts. Rae, known for her outspoken advocacy for diversity and inclusion, has made it clear that her decision is rooted in her commitment to these principles.
The Kennedy Center has yet to respond publicly to Rae’s decision, but her move adds to a growing list of artists and public figures who have voiced opposition to Trump’s leadership in cultural institutions. Rae’s cancellation is seen as a powerful statement in defense of the values she believes the Kennedy Center should continue to uphold.
