Poetry Slam Tackles Race, Gender, And Class

Instead, The (X) Agenda—the Fill-in-the-Blank Agenda—tackled the intersections of race, gender, and class. The event, which was coordinated by the Pride Network and featured No Disclaimers—a poetry group in the Black Students’ Union—and guest poet Natasha Miller, began with a brief overview of the Pride Network, followed by performances by No Disclaimers on topics ranging from sex and politics to revolution and race. Every poem was followed by a flurry of snapping fingers, the audience expressing their appreciation for the lyrics of each piece.
