For the second year, Link students were invited to perform at New York Life Insurance Company’s Manhattan headquarters for a corporate diversity event. Six students gave a terrific rendition of a spoken word piece titled In Our Beautiful Skin, We Rise Up, created by students in Ms. Bradshaw’s creative writing class last year. Students remained at the event for a speech by Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund, Inc.
