"" Literacy through Self Expression Project". This project is aimed at helping and encouraging youth to read to express themselves through writing and music. Percy Bates and the DLG social media groups on Facebook is planning the 2014 dlg PoetryJazzCafe tour. The purpose of this tour is to bring the power, beauty and elegance of poetry, spoken word and Jazz to a new audience & to spread the goal and focus of the "Literacy through Self Expression Project".
Due to technology, youth no longer read books in the traditional way. We want to encourage kids to write what they feel and keep journals that they utilize for 15 minutes everyday to expand their vocabulary and express themselves.
