Event description: Activism rises up both outside and inside courthouses, territory ripe for poetry. Four practicing or “recovering” attorneys and a jury forewoman read poems on the legal system and the people who strive for justice within and beyond the courtroom. African American and white panelists present vivid poetic testimony that contemplates and critiques an imperfect justice system and envisions possibilities for change. Join us for an impassioned reading and Q&A as we deepen the conversation on law.
