Slamming The System, November 30, 2006
Imagine going to a poetry slam where the judges reflected the struggles in our communities, and the poets performing were competing to heal their hearts. Stop imagining and start being in the present. Colored Ink's latest project "Slamming
the System" is a slam that is designed
to do what most slams don't: which is
to reach people. With this event, people
are not winning money for themselves, but
are winning $ for someone else. We are giving
artists a chance to perform their work in front
of the people they often refer to in their poems;
families of murdered loved ones, men just getting
out of prison, young women in group homes, Katrina
Survivors, and so forth. So if you've been slammed
by the system, then SLAM with us. TRUE POETRY 4 THE PEOPLE
