Flyer on a white background with a red and black polka dot on grey background border on the left side and bottom. On the bottom left of the page in green letters are the words "Writing" and "Prompt" The "O" in prompt is the Black Writers Group logo. (The Black Writers Group Logo is a green circle, surrounded by a black circle, surrounded by a red circle with a grey fist holding a red, black, and green pencil laid over the three circles. Around the red circle are the words "BLACK" and "WRITERS GROUP".) In red letters in between the words "writing" & "prompt" are the words "Write as YOU or as a character." In the top right corner on top of a red circle with a green border are the following words: "There are, as it seems to me, four ways in which the American Negro may develop: first, his present condition of serfdom may be perpetuated; secondly, his race may die out and become extinct in this land; thirdly, he may migrate to some foreign land; and fourthly, he may become an American citizen. ~W. E. Burghardt Du Bois" The rest of the page has 4 clusters of questions/prompt in black letters: * "To what ethnic group are you a part? / What is your preferred name for your people? / Describe the personality & characteristics of your tribe. What puts someone inside or outside of your ethnic community?" + * "Write about your--past, present, & future--personal growth. What (positive & negative) moments, people, words have impacted it?" +* "Were Black people in Amerikkka serfs* after the Emancipation Proclamation? / Do Black people have (full) citizenship in the US? / *Serf: noun (esp in medieval Europe) an unfree person, esp one bound to the land." & * "Do you like moving? Do you like traveling? Do you like meeting new people? learning new things? Experiencing new cultures? / Have you ever been a foreigner?"

On a grey background with green illustrated hands on a slant, one reaching up and one reaching down. The words "WRITING PROMPT" are across the top in light grey writing, preceded by the Black Writers Group logo. (The logo is a green circle surrounded by a black circle surrounded by a red circle surrounded by the words "BLACK" and "Writers Group" with a grey fist holding a red, black, and green pencil. ) Beneath the BWG logo and (mostly) the word "WRITING" is the following: "Being in Cuba has allowed me to live in a society that is not at war with itself. There is a sense of community. It’s a given in Cuba that, if you fall down, the person next to you is going to help you get up. — Assata Shakur" At the bottom of the page is a red box with black dissolving shadow and the grey words on the right side of the red box: "WRITE AS YOU OR AS A CHARACTER." There are 4 groups of questions/statements in red ink scattered about the page as follows: * "Where were you born? Where were you raised? Where is “home”? Compare and contrast your home with other places you have been-lived-visited?" + * "Describe a person, place, or thing that is full of contradictions." + * "When have you felt/been an outsider? an insider? When have you brought someone into the fold? When have you pushed/kept someone out." + "What has been your greatest failure/triumph? What has been your greatest loss/gain? Who is your best friend/greatest enemy?"
