American poet, playwright and activist
Sonia Sanchez appears in 11 House Oversight Committee documents exclusively in connection with 'Poetry in America,' a PBS educational series featuring her alongside Bill Clinton, Herbie Hancock, and children from Harlem Children's Zone discussing Langston Hughes's poem 'Harlem.'
All mentions of Sonia Sanchez are identical references to her participation in a filmed poetry education project called 'Poetry in America.' She is consistently listed as a participant in an episode focused on Langston Hughes, appearing with President Bill Clinton, musician Herbie Hancock, and students from the Harlem Children's Zone/Promise Academy. The documents appear to be proposals, schedules, or promotional materials for this PBS series produced by Verse Video, discussing themes of disappointment, discrimination, and dreaming. There is no indication of any connection to Jeffrey Epstein beyond appearing in documents subpoenaed from someone involved with this poetry series.
