Release Notes

INVINCIBLE Brings YOU A hip-hop audio documentary by the
Detroit Summer Live Arts Media Project

Through the Live Arts Media Project, Detroit Summer is
using art and media to voice creative, sustainable
solutions to the problems we face in our schools,
neighborhoods and the world.

We believe that young people should have a voice in the
decisions that determine their lives. Our CD, “Rising Up
From the Ashes: Chronicles of a Drop-Out”, is a youth
response to the drop-out crisis in Detroit schools. If
every student who dropped out went back to school, DPS
would have enough money to keep all the schools open.
What would it take to stop people from dropping out?
What would it take to bring them back?

We believe it would take a new vision for the purpose of
education, new relationships between students and
teachers, between students and students, and between
students and the material they are learning. We would
need curriculum that was fair and relevant and that
prepared youth to solve the urgent problems in their
lives and their communities.

To keep our schools open, we need money. But we need
creativity, hope and youth participation if we want our
schools to fulfill the human right to education.
