Three of the 2021 MacArthur Fellows who received this year's "Genius Award" supported incarcerated YPEI students in 2020 by participating in YPEI correspondence programming during the pandemic:
Music Critic, Essayist, and Poet Hanif Abdurraqib participated in the YPEI Creative Writing Workshop, editing and annotating a unit of readings and prompts for incarcerated YPEI students (accessible here);
Dwayne Betts supported students and programming, sending books to each incarcerated YPEI student through YPEI's partnership with Freedom Reads, including his book FELON: POEMS; and
Art Historian and Curator Nicole Fleetwood sent copies of her "Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration" to each YPEI student and nurtured their responses to her ground-breaking work.
Congratulations to the Fellows, and thank you for supporting the work of college in prison.
I enjoyed reading your post! One thing I'd love to say is that this information has changed my views. It would be great if you could expand on that in a future post! I would like to have your lookout on my and my team's work on 925 sterling silver meaning as we are seekers of your suggestion. Please provide some information you have on this topic, and we will be waiting for your feedback and new blogs for us.
