Description

An event on Vashon Island to honor the memory of Martin Luther King Jr.'s work, coming together as a community to share food, listen to elders and our youth.  With the civil rights leaders as our model, where can we go from here? 

 - Potluck

 - Just Speak presentation

Just Speak is an after school club for students of color to talk about issues of social justice, identity, and their experiences in a brave space using spoken word and poetry as a tool.  This event will be the first planned performance opportunity for the students to share their work with the public.   Just Speak is a project born from the race equity committees at The Harbor School and Vashon Island School District and it’s being supported/financed by Vashon Artists in Schools.
