About this Event

NCAAHC welcomes NC Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green to host another “Africa to Carolina” community poetry workshop. This workshop will be at the Jaycee Building of Southport. She will workshop with participants to write prose in response to the "Africa to Carolina” Inclusive Public Art project with the artist team David Wilson and Stephen Hayes. This workshop continues her practice of calling to remembrance of ancestry. All ages are invited for a collective poetry writing workshop to identify, acknowledge, and mark sites in North Carolina where enslaved Africans disembarked directly from the African continent. We invite you to join us as we share more information about the initiative and gather feedback, suggestions, and workshops with the communities.
