DELRIDGE NEIGHBORHOODS DISTRICT COUNCIL: As with the Southwest District Council, eastern West Seattle’s neighborhood district council is continuing despite the cutoff of city support. You’re invited to be part of it at 7 pm tonight, NEW LOCATION for next three months – Highland Park Improvement Club. (12th SW/SW Holden)

WORDSWEST LITERARY SERIES: 7 pm at C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor), this month’s edition of WordsWest:

Langston Hughes famously asked America, “What happens to a dream deferred?” Tonight, on the Wednesday between Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Inauguration Day, journalist/memoirist Claudia Rowe and writer/poet/performance artist Anastacia Tolbert join WordsWest to examine the causes and consequences of “Dreams Deferred.”

You may know Claudia from her investigative journalism about education in The Seattle Times, including a recent piece on the Garfield High School principal. Her book The Spider and the Fly, which will be released at the end of this month, examines her complex relationship with a serial killer who killed 8 young women in upstate New York. You may know Anastacia, a super-shero of color, through her poetry, prose, performances of her one-woman show, or her documentary, “Got Breast?”

    When you open the article up about the MOCHA meeting the date is wrong on the header it says Wednesday January 20th.  Little confusing, it is Friday the 20th or actually Wednesday the 18th.  Thanks

      It is tonight, always the third Wednesday, January/April/July/October. Sorry, I should have pointed that out, I noticed their error. Will see if I can just pull up the agenda they sent and process it for direct linking here instead.

      UPDATE – the information on the website was wrong in general. The meeting starts at 7, per Cindi Barker, who is public-info officer for MoCA. I am updating above.

Sorry, comment time is over.
