Poetry Workshop
Description
The poetry workshop allows students the opportunity to engage in the different styles of creative writing. In a group setting, students will read and analyze different poets, then break off and write their own work based on what they have learned. As part of the poetry curriculum, current events are incorporated, along with a little acting.

The Black Archives of Mid-America
The Black Archives is a non-profit organization that serves the community by offering itself as an educational resource as well as a repository of every facet in African American culture; music, art , theater, education, the military, medicine, sports, religion and community affairs. The Black Archives was expressly created to collect and preserve the history of African Americans in the Midwest. Beyond our original emphasis of research and critical examination, the Archives’ traveling exhibits personify the roles of African Americans and their plight to dispel negative images. Our interpretive and educational programs, research services, and special projects have received overwhelming community support.
