Ms Sharron J Kennedy-Frost initiated the Poetry & Jazz Café for ten years in Public School 328, located at 330 Alabama Avenue in East New York Brooklyn. What started out as a math lesson turned into the Phillis Wheatley Poetry & Jazz Café. The purpose of the Café was to teach math in a memorable way, raise money for instruments and more importantly to introduce the students to the idea of entrepr

eneurship. The café was a success ( student operated, staff and community supported ). It was met with enthusiasm from the students, staff and community at large, After, four years of operation we had our first celebrity visit by Mr. The ideal was so successful and heartwarming that it inspired the idea to for me to eventually open Word Up Cafe.

The United Nations General Assembly has declared the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity.

In a resolution adopted this week, UN member countries highlight the horrors of slavery — millions of African men, women and children forcibly captured and trafficked in one of the largest systems of organized mass human exploitation in history.
