SUMMARY:Ancestry: Poetry Workshop & Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Ancestry. Heritage. Culture. Family. Resilience. \nJoin Suffolk County Poet Laureate Chip Williford for a community poetry workshop and open mic centering on the subject of ancestry: Where do you come from? What were your ancestors like? What gives you pride?\nThis special program will explore ancestry, heritage, culture, family, and resilience through poetry and shared experiences.\nAll funds generated from this event, with cooperation from the NAACP, will go toward a scholarship funding college tuition for a student from Eastern Long Island to attend Suffolk County Community College, carrying forward the NAACP national organization’s vision of an inclusive community rooted in liberation where all persons can exercise their civil and human rights without discrimination. \nSunday, September 13, 2026\n3:00 PM – 5:00 PM\nWalt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site and Interpretive Center\n246 Old Walt Whitman Road\nHuntington Station, NY 11746\nCost: $15 Donation. \nNote: Because the Birthplace is not collecting funds from this event, donations to the scholarship fund can be made directly through the NAACP – Eastern Long Island Branch Scholarship.  CLICK HERE ( https://sunysuffolk.thankyou4caring.org/scholarships/naacp---eastern-long-island-branch-scholarship )\n
