Join American University Sine Institute 2026 Fellow Kwame Alexander and his special guests/friends for an evening where poems become porch lights, songs become bridges, and stories become the map of who we are. Celebrating 250 years of voices—whispered, shouted, sung, and still becoming, together they honor the stories that made us and imagine the ones waiting to be told. Come listen for yourself in the chorus.

Special Guests:

Rachel Martin of NPR’s Wild Card, Formerly of Morning Edition
The Amy Shook Trio featuring Amy Shook (bass), Frank Russo (drums), Jonathan Epley (guitar)
