For #FreedomSchool 2013 at Stadium View, we park next to the real Hennepin County Sheriff's Crime Lab, every day. It never ceases to trip me out. I can't help but wonder what it's like in there…

This morning I had the honor of being a "Reader" during #FreedomSchool's Harambee ceremony at Stadium View School. Readers are asked to choose a book (or other media) to share with students. I played "A Song for #Assata" by @Common and repped @Palabristas by performing my #spokenword pieces: "Soy Chicano" and "Somos Palabristas". #amplifiedlife #palabristas #chicano #poetry #poems #twincities #minneapolis #arts #education #literacy larrylucio.com palabristas.org amplifiedlife.com

I walked in to the classroom we use for recording and found a room full of brand new #iMacs. Much respect to schools that give their students the tools to succeed. The organizations & programs that keep pace with their funding, support and implementation of technology, are the only ones that will survive. #FreedomSchool 2013 #amplife #youthriveLIVE

Freedom School 2013 Showcase: July 26th

**“Day of the Show” Video Blog + Photos (see below)**

View this post on Instagram

Tomorrow morning is the #FreedomSchool 2013 Showcase at Stadium View. I'm going to ATTEMPT to video blog my experience, via Instagram, throughout the day. Never tried that before. Sure, it sounds good conceptually, but we'll see if I actually end up having the time to do it. Our special guests tomorrow will include @MariaIsa, @MujaMessiah, @RSCspokenword, & one of our instructors, Paul "PC" Collier on the 1's & 2's… It's not a public event but if you're on the list to attend, check in with SV/JDC in the lobby & they'll escort you through the security process to gain access to the building. @youthriveTEAM #youthriveLIVE #amplife #yL http://amplifiedlife.com http://youthriveLIVE.net
