In Part 2 of our 2-part series on the positive impact that the arts has on our youth, we are featuring the poem “My Person” by young poet, Kennedi Morton followed by a discussion with her father, visionary and lifelong creative, Swayyvo Morton and retired educator, Sylvia Greene on the topic of “Our Children and the Arts”.
Exposure to the arts is more than entertainment. For many of us, the arts are release. The arts are language. The arts are survival. The arts are survival. The arts are therapy that sometimes reaches places words cannot.
