How One Poet Is Helping Chicago Students Find Their Voice Through Verse (5/30/17)
Description
More than 50 people were shot during the holiday weekend in Chicago. Often, when we talk about the city—and its school system—we hear about too much violence and too little money. Jeffrey Brown talks to poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera about his new project, which gives Chicago students the opportunity to create meaningful works about their lives and the challenges they face.
