Students Present Inspirational History Lesson

Posted on 03/02/2012

In February, middle school students were able to present Keep the Dream Alive! three times — to audiences at the MN Department of Education, Dorsey and Whitney law firm, and Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi law firm. We are pleased to share some of the wonderful feedback they received from audience members:

“Such an important topic and so wonderful to see young people expressing their view points and what they are passionate about. Very inspiring.”

“These students did a remarkable job and I wish more young people had the opportunity to learn about history, injustice and racism the way they were able to learn it.”

“. . . It was very moving. It also prompted me to not be a silent witness and to sign up for a phone bank during the caucus to make calls to connect with people. And I hate to talk on the phone!”

“My goodness, the agency is buzzing about the presentation! Folks who couldn’t attend are stopping folks that did to hear about it. Some folks are tearing up talking both about the information and your impressive students. And everyone who was there talked about things they learned that they had never known before.”

We’re so proud of Southside students for their great work in the community!
