Step Up and Commit to Social Change
Funded Oct 22, 2018
I am so extremely elated, just seeing the email that I was funded. I am so very appreciative of everyone generosity.
I am looking forward to sharing this book with my students. It is imperative that our youth learn the fundamentals of social justice to create social change. I have been engaging my students in critical thinking as they analyze text through the intersection of race, socioeconomic, gender and relationships. I want to further their social justice lens thru Assata’s story.
On behalf of my students and myself, I am deeply humbled by your support.”
With gratitude,
Dr. Crawford
