The Charlestown Sandtown Connection (sCs) is pleased to present representatives from the sponsoring organizations on November 17, 2023, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Gallery. With Dan Matthews, a New Song Tutor and cSc board member, as the moderator, we will see a video of the poem Broken Humanity by James Smith, Jr., a recent 8th grade graduate of New Song Academy. Dan will then introduce representatives from the four non-profit organizations that the cSc supports. This year we are excited to have a New Song Academy graduate, Cortez Fisher, MBA who is a financial analyst at Exelon-PHI and NSCLC Board member talk about New Song.
We will learn about the programs from No Boundaries, Jubilee Arts, Turnaround Tuesday, and New Song Community Learning Center. After presentations from the four groups there will be time for questions and for meeting the representatives individually.
Lon Chesnut, cSc Leader, reminds us that the Sandtown Connection grew out of the 2015 Uprising in Sandtown after Freddie Gray’s death. Charlestown residents’ role is to listen, learn, and understand more about Sandtown. Volunteers are aways welcome.
