Teacher, teacher tell me how ya do it!


Viva Fidel teaches a weekly 'Restoration of Consciousness' Class at Transition HS in Milwaukee,WI.

Here is a clip from an article about the school.
THS has nurtured solid community connections with culturally conscious organizations and individuals including: Urban Underground, Ambassadors for Peace, Lil’ Johnny Productions, Flood the Hood With Dreams, and Fidel Verdin. As a part of a daily curriculum, these groups provide workshops to students in areas such as spoken word therapy, urban life skills, youth restorative justice, activism training, critical media literacy, conflict resolution and the connections between hip-hop culture and education.

One student, Vedell Jones said: “This type of learning gives me more education on Black History, as well as educates me on the importance of my voice and vote, and talks about the economy and how it affects me.”
