Join the Abolition Working Group and PG County Branch as we help host Ketu Oladuwa on his "OctoGenarian Poetry Tour" featuring Poet/Musician Ketu Oladuwa, Author/Poet Caroline Brewer, and Singer/Storyteller Dr. Karen Wilson-Ama'Echefu for an afternoon of riveting, uplifting, courageous, community-building, community-strengthening poetry, and song!

Get ready to experience a unique and inspiring journey with Ketu Oladuwa as he shares his wisdom and stories. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of something special.

Ketu's bio: Emerging from a journey of survival, resistance, and self-discovery—including five years on death row for a murder I did not commit—I found liberation through poetry in death’s house. My work testifies to the resilience of the hueman spirit, and the power of art to heal and lift consciousness to face our inhibiting traumas and confront the institutions that threaten to erase us.

This memorable in-person event will be held at the Creative Suitland Arts Center.

Various community partners will have tables to learn more about abolition and artwork and writings from various incarcerated penpals of the Abolition Working Group will be displayed.
