Student Voices
The dialogue in Albuquerque introduced a new dimension – that of student voices. IDRA and Critical Exposure worked with local students to learn about the landmark cases and to photograph their school realities in the context of Mendez and Brown. Here is some of what students captured and shared.
“A Tale of Two Centrals”
Brandon Love, a student at Central High School in Little Rock who participated with other students in the community dialogue, shared his story.
