Get Lifted by Get Lit!

Friday, February 20, 2009
Get Lit is a Southern California non-profit that uses literature, in particular Slam poetry, to help urban High School students succeed by expressing themselves through an intricate flow of passion and prose. Scott Gold wrote a great article about the program in today's LA Times that anyone involved in youth education and empowerment should read. Click the link below to be redirected to the article and check out the audio slide show featured on the same page (or you can link directly to the slide show using the second link below). Please read this article and share it with friends and family. I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me.
