PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:

In March 1993, producer Dave Isay put a microphone into the hands of two young people living in Chicago's notorious Ida B. Wells public housing projects, and asked them to record an audio portrait of their lives. The result was Ghetto Life 101, and it sparked the interest of an aspiring poet and writer living in the projects: Yanier "Blak" Moore.

Blak's life has been marked by an almost inconceivable degree of violence and death - the murders of his parents and countless close friends - but through it all he has been able to transcend personal tragedy with the power of words.

On the tenth anniversary of Ghetto Life 101, Sound Portraits is proud to return to Ida B. Wells and present a new story of hope.

This story premiered on NPR's All Things Considered on March 13, 2003.
