'Access to high-quality education for all students is one of the greatest civil rights issues’
Carlisha Bradley
"My grandfather Mose Jones had an eighth-grade education and worked as a sharecropper in Louisiana. However, he was one of my greatest champions for pursuing higher education. After detailing memories of the racism and segregation he endured growing up in the South, he told me, “Carlisha, you can’t fight injustice with your fists — you have to fight with your mind.”
Encourage and Support higher educational aspirations among expecting and parenting teens and adolescents.
