Pulitzer Center + Poetry Center Partner for Miles Davis Poetry Workshop

The Poetry Center is happy to be a partner to the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting. Through this partnership, we’ve linked up our partner school, Sir Miles Davis Magnet Academy in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, with our partners at the Pulitzer Center for a special workshop on poetry and human rights reporting.

We’re so grateful to have partner classroom teachers like Yadeale Tamru who create extra opportunities for their students, like this one. Check out a few photos and poems from the special Pulitzer workshop below.
