Nat-2/5/10-PEN America

On Friday Morning, Danica, Josh, Catherine, and I went to one of the PEN America Branches in New York. We weren’t sure at first if anyone would be there because it was so early. And then, coincidentaly, we saw Stacey Leigh in the elevator carrying the supplies upstairs. As soon as we got upstairs, she gave us a quick tour of the place and what the organization does. Also about many other imprisoned writers Such as Liu Xiaobo, Zhao Shiying, and why they were imprisoned. We then helped set up chairs for the Bank Street Schools session with Stacey. We also gave them ideas to write about.
