 The Black Ink Monks
is a student initiated writers group at Johnson C. Smith
University founded in 1994. They are known for their on-campus monthly Grimes
Lounge poetry jams and their appearances over the years at various slam venues
in Charlotte. In any given year, membership ranges from five to ten or more
students. In 2002, a Charlotte Observer article on their creative activities led
to an invitation to do a writing workshop for Advance Placement students at East
Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte. In 1003, The Black Ink Monks worked in
collaboration with students at Myers Park High School and The Echo Foundation to
host an open mic event to raise money for the Cities of Asylum Project. In
2003-2004, Monks directed performance workshops in high schools in Union
County. Former Black Ink Monks have gone on to successful careers in graduate
school, film production, graphic production, web design and teaching.
