America, My Voice for Change - Voices for Change Educator's Summit 2019

The community poem, “America, My Voice for Change,” was created at the Voices for Change Educators Summit (Summer, 2019) presented by Kent State University’s School of Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Studies. Sponsored by The Martha Holden Jennings Foundation, the goal of the Summit was to prepare middle and high school teachers to educate a new generation about the history and legacy of May 4, 1970, and its relevance to contemporary issues and events.

Using the Wick Poetry Center’s Thread application, community voices were collected in response to keynote speaker Sara Abou Rashed’s poem, “I Am America” and scripted by the Wick Poetry Center. The next day, Sara Abou Rashed and summit participants performed the community poem at the close of the Summit.
