Humanities New York sits down with Josie Whittlesey of Drama Club and Cameron Rasmussen and Ryan Burvick from the “Beats, Rhymes and Justice” program. They discuss the Action Grant-supported projects they offer to incarcerated youth (men and women under the age of 21) on Rikers Island. Humanities NY s a partner of the Heyman Center on our Public Humanities Fellowships, many of which have gone to graduate students whose supported projects took them to Rikers.
