African-American Youths in Young Writers' Program Have Successful Year
It is through our literary arts
that we fmd the means to communi
cate the ideas and events of our col
lective experience. On June 9, in the
Arts Council boardroom, the stu
dents, parents and teachers involved
in the Young Black Writers' Pro
gram celebrated the continuation of
the rich literary traditions of African
Americans/
The Young Black Writers' Pro
gram is a series of seminars for high
school-aged young adults that the
Arts Council of Winston-Salem and
Forsyth County sponsors each year.
The program was created to teach
the art of literature and provide spe
cialized instruction in the craft of
writing. The program emphasizes
the works of African-American
writers and the development of its
young participants to become the
writers of tomorrow.
Dtinngareadingand reception
marking the end <tf the Young Black
Writers' Program for 1992-93, the
students involved in the program
gave a public reading of many of
the works you have seen published
in this paper over the past few
-months . The works ranged from?
poetry to prose and offered unique
insights into the lives and thoughts
of the students.
Throughout the year, the
'Young Black Writers' Program
teaches not only the mechanics and
language of creative composition
but the freedom and opportunity of
self-expression in the art of writing.
The students are encouraged to use
personal experiences as a source of
inspiration and as a part of the cre
ative process.
* The works produced through
the Young Black Writers' Program
reflect the tumultuous times in
which we live and the tough issues
high school students must face in
their personal lives. The themes
explored in the students' writings
include alienation, loneliness,
raeism, African-American history,
religion, self-esteem, cultural iden
tity, our dying communities and
homelessness.
All the works are evocative in
that they appear to be a direct dia
logue these students have begun
with their community or themselves
about the issues they must face
daily. The importance of the writ
ings done by these students is no
less than the great works of our
political or religious leaders. The
written works of these students offer
us something special ? a window
lo the future. ?
The primary objectives of the
program are to provide specific
technical direction and understand
ing of poetry and prose. The semi
nars enhance student interest in
reading as well as expose them to
the same time, the project fosters
fellowship among an emerging
community of writers.
And, perhaps it is finally this
"fellowship" of young people ?
coming together for a common
learning experience and looking to
the African-American writers who
have come before them as guidance
? that makes this program so
important.
The Young Black Writers' Pro
gram could not have been success- This program was made possi
ful thisyear without the support of bleby the generous support of the
the Winston-Salem Chronicle and Mary Duke Biddle Foundation,
the Winston-Salem Urban League. For more information concern
