The WITT Seminar Conference was a semester-long study of the intersection of writing and community activism by 11th- and 12th-grade students that culminated in a Bronx-wide conference.  Students worked with author and AIDS activist Sarah Schulman, poet Suheir Hammad, and New Yorker journalist George Packer.  They interviewed community activists whose profiles were published in a special issue of the school literary magazine, The Magpie.  This is the fourth year that we have supported the WITT seminar at DeWitt Clinton.
