Wouldn't it be a coup to get former US Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera??
He lives outside of Fresno...
Also - wasn't it at your school, Catherine, where we met that lovely young
woman who did the library on wheels/bike bookmobile project? I seem to
remember she was Latina.
You are probably all connected with Precita Eyes
<http://www.precitaeyes.org/education.html> already?
Sounds like a great project. I hope to hear more about it as it develops!

Hello there
I hope this email finds you all in good form. Students are organizing a
Day of Action on February 13, 2019 at the French American International
School and I am helping them to find local Latina, Hispanic artists,
performers, poets, etc. who explore issues of social justice via the arts
and media. Any recommendations?
Here is their description:
"The Day of Action is a full day of presentations and workshops planned by
International High School’s Student Diversity Council. The day’s theme is
“Diversity in Media and The Arts”: activities and presentations will thus
explore social justice issues through the lens of media and the arts. With
this theme, we hope to engage students in and provoke productive
conversations on current issues for our generation. The event will be on
February 13th, 2019. "
If you have any recommendations, please just email me directly.
Thanks so much,
Catherine
PS : I will miss the BAISL meeting:( because I will be attending a web
radio workshop. Have fun and I look forward to meeting with you soon.
