Covenant House joins the YWCA in its national day to "Stand Against Racism".

A lively open mic in Charleston featuring poets, singers, musicians, and spoken word artists.

We'll hear from Spoken Word poets who speak from the heart about 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!

"Stand Against Racism Day" is a branded event of the national YWCA office.  For more information on this event across the United States, visit http://www.standagainstracism.org/
