Teaching for Change's Busboys and Poets Bookstore through the eyes of a backpack journalist

Backpack Journalist Skye Wheeler wanted to capture the spirit of Teaching for Change's Busboys and Poets Bookstore. Through the eyes of staff member and poet Jonathan B. Tucker and EL Haynes PCS teacher Waahida T. Mbatha, she finds a little bit of the magic that lives in this progressive, independent, non-profit bookstore.
