Phillip Shabazz at Silk Hope School

Through poetry, students will improve their writing skills by connecting with their core beliefs. Kids will draw on their own personal experiences to create original poems, and then they’ll celebrate their work with a class-wide reading of their poetry on the last day.

“I loved it! I felt like I would write 1,000 pages of poetry!” – Chatham 6th grader after a Phillip Shabazz residency
