**Prompt: **
After experiencing our poetry workshop with kahlil almustafa this week, we want you to think about connecting the content we have been discussing over the last couple week around the incidences of Ocean Hill Brownsville (OHB) circa 1968 and poetry writing. Put another way, how might poetry help us make more sense of OHB?

So for your posting this week, draft a poem that addresses some aspect, theme, or moment from OHB. Feel free to use some of the structures and strategies that kahlil presented, or you can use another structure/approach you are familiar with.

For your responses to others, focus on the messages of the poems, and how that resonates for you.

Good luck.
