The Water Us Project - Flint, Michigan Chapt

The program curriculum presented how genres of literature, music, visual art and dance/drama, were utilized as art forms of resistance. The goal was to accomplish the integration of social justice and drama and to show the students through self-determination art, the historical evolution of social injustice and to teach the children coping mechanisms. The program curriculum was created by Flint Chapter literary artist/educator, Semaj Brown, and augmented by professional art educators: Edith Withey, Visual Arts; Diane Kirksey, Music; Janet Poole-Little, Drama; with invaluable insights, from Corinne Edwards, Ed.D.
