Please join us for three events to kick off our second year, and help us to raise funds to support educators who are on the front lines of the struggle for truth and democracy. We are seeking to raise funds to send 100 teachers -- from kindergarten through higher education, from all across the United States and beyond -- to travel with the Institute on learning tours, to enroll in continuing education, and to receive small grants to support the zillion ideas that teachers have that school districts can't or won't fund. We need your support!

The final of three events:

Speaker: Georgia Poet Laureate Hank Stewart

Date: Friday, July 21th at 6 pm PDT on Zoom

Hank Stewart is an Emmy Award Winning, Best-selling Author and Poet Laureate of Georgia. He is also an author, activist, philanthropist, humanitarian, and motivational speaker. Stewart is celebrating over 25 years as an artist. Stewart’s talent has afforded him unique opportunities to recite his work to the mother of the civil rights movement Mrs. Rosa Parks, to the (Former) First Lady Michelle Obama. Stewart has written and performed commercials for The McDonalds Corporation and WAGA-Atlanta Black History spots which resulted in the attainment of 2007 Emmy, Promax, and Gabby Awards.

Hank Stewart will be performing his poems and engaging in conversation with those of the CP/Institute community who are in attendance.
