During the 2015 Summer Arts at the Center program at the South Dallas Cultural Center, the South Dallas Poets were inspired by this year's theme "Africa Now: A Journey to Modern Senegal" which focused on the life of contemporary Senegalese people. They learned how the Sengalese youth utilize Hip Hop culture as a political too, popular Senegalese music, street art and theater, and all aspects of modern Senegalese culture.
