Description
A School of Our Own shows how in 1965 a group of Puerto Rican "homemakers" created better schools for their children and built a community that enabled many adults to transform their lives. Including both educational and political struggles, this engaging story addresses timely topics like:
How to provide good early childhood education in a way that simultaneously strengthens families.
How to create an organization strongly committed to countering race, class, and gender prejudice and discrimination.
How to strengthen civil society and engage people in public life.
How to eliminate poverty-specifically, how to address the unfinished business left by the 1996 "reform" of welfare.
