“For us right here. Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing. I close my eyes. I imagine I am in the middle of space with the stars, reading. I hear cars driving down the street and feel rain on my skin. I see all genders and say all pronouns. I open my eyes. My moving feet jump up and down, and touch the living earth. The tiger spirit waters Franklin’s grounds. We are protectors of our school.”
Notes: Words inside are written by Franklin Elementary 5th Graders 2021-2022. in collaboration with Youth Creative writing organization Chapter 510. Artist gives thanks to Franklin Elementary School & Oakland Trybe. Details and work in progress below
