Join us for a special MLK Day edition of the every.Word Poetry Monday Night Open Mic, presented in collaboration with The VORTEX. This annual gathering honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through poetry, music, and performance that uplift Black voices and celebrate art as resistance, truth-telling, and collective liberation
Hosted by acclaimed poet, playwright, and artivist Ebony Stewart, this evening centers Black poets while welcoming musicians and allies into a values-aligned creative space. Together, we gather in community to honor Dr. King’s enduring call for justice, love, and freedom of expression.
“Unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
