About this Event
New Age Poetry presents Youth, Poetry, & Protest: an in-depth panel discussion with Jason Reynolds and Howard University students on poetry, the DC Black arts community, and the role of youth in times of protest. After the panel, we will continue the night with an open mic like usual!
