They intersperesed Glover reading Hughes with Justice reading from King. Of course, it wasn't an evening, but during an afternoon in an Israeli Middle School. This was during the Al Aqso intifada, before the wall was erceted, so suicide bombers were a daily occurence all over Tel Aviv and surrounding areas.<br />The students were very attentive, much more attentive than any random American school audience would be I am sure. And they asked pointed questions about the meaning of the speeches and poems and about Dr. King's philosophy of nonviolence. They were children living in a world of turmoil and violence looking for a way out of the madness. Both the students and the actors cam away touched deeply by the experience.PatricktheRoguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405925786857085350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-3018002426586723952009-09-18T23:02:15.732-04:002009-09-18T23:02:15.732-04:00Mr. Leroy,

I agree with you. Poetry is not only about the words and what they mean, but what's BEHIND the words and how they make you feel.<br />Thanks for commenting!<br />AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-25561720524364321332009-09-18T18:56:44.077-04:002009-09-18T18:56:44.077-04:00I'm not a teacher .. or the good words is i d...I'm not a teacher .. or the good words is i didn't study to bea teacher , but i think that we are all a teatcher evritime in our life.<br /> I learn spoken words to young people in Neighborhood social center (france) . and i always amazing when i understand their feelings of a poetry... like your student ... poetry does not just talk to you in your or another language .. poetry talk to your soul, your mind...Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03911217173938930593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269246580821881304.post-91497853307669502712009-09-14T13:12:08.224-04:002009-09-14T13:12:08.224-04:00myabubakar,
