Pittsburgh Day School student Lee Ervin, under his pseudonym Alistor Morgan, was recently chosen to perform his spoken word poetry at the City Summit, an annual conference of state leaders from all over the United States. In his performance for a group of 200 teen delegates, Lee expressed concerns regarding recent environmental abuse, including the North Dakota pipeline and the water crisis in Flint, Michigan.
Lee is actively involved in the Steel City Slam program Young Steel, which meets weekly at the Mattress Factory.
