Barbra Streisand is condemning Donald Trump’s battle over the Kennedy Center’s name as the dispute has threatened the future of the iconic art institution.
“In 2008, I was deeply honored to be included in the 31st annual class of Kennedy Center Honorees,” the legendary singer, 84, said in a message on her website Thursday. “For me, and for so many artists, that honor represented something larger than a career recognition. It represented a belief in the importance of art to the life of a democracy.”
