Covenant House joins the YWCA in its national day to "Stand Against Racism" with a lively open competition featuring top Charleston poets.

We'll hear from Spoken Word artists who speak from the heart about race, love, dreams, self-respect, politics and everything that makes today's world a fascinating, complex place. "True artists, writers and performers," describes Amy Weintraub, Covenant House Director.  "They are the voices of the next generation: If Langston Hughes or Virginia Woolf was alive today... this is what they'd sound like."

Experience a casual atmosphere with snacks. Grace the mic yourself or simply enjoy the poetry and fun-loving atmosphere. This is definitely a food-for-your-soul event of the spring, so get your fill now!
