L.A. Times Festival of Books
Lewis is an entrepreneur. A community leader. An education advocate. And when it comes to books, he’s also a philanthropist who recently donated another 50,000 books for South Los Angeles and Boyle Heights elementary schools through USC’s Civic Engagement Book Drive, in partnership with the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books.
Books will fill new classroom libraries and promote reading in the USC Family of Schools. This donation is a great way to get books to families and schools who need them the most.”

Youth Poetry Competition
Host by Poet's Jazz House…just somewhere to go in the midst of searching your soul. A Spoken Word & Music Lounge where spilling your heart is an art and searching your soul is mandatory to get in the door... A beatnik lounge where there is snapping instead of clapping, the atmosphere is lax but it Sssizzles. Come touch, be touched, hear the answer, heed the call... Turn your heart into Art & make Money doing it. Learn to express yourself to heal yourself.
