For hundreds of years, young people and their families have fought to ensure fair access to schools and education. Explore the historical disparities in the education system, discover the many generations that have fought against segregation, and meet Mildred Ridgley, a young student who went on to become a prominent educational activist.
How do communities navigate unjust educational systems, and how can you make a difference? As Nelson Mandela famously said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
