As part of the University’s MLK Week programming, the Human Rights Lab and IOP’s Bridge Writing Workshop collaborated to host a virtual letter writing program for folks currently incarcerated in Illinois. The event featured mini-keynote addresses from Maya Schenwar and Colette Payne, tools on how to write a letter of solidarity, and guidance for continuing a pen pal relationship beyond the event by Samantha Dunn from Black and Pink: Chicago, who also facilitated a breakout group for those interested in long-term letter writing.
