Our Street Law students made us proud for Round 2. We had 4 teams to compete, 2 defense and 2 prosecution. There were 3 charges for New Columbia v. Lighthouse & Mooney. Our teams' wins varied based on the charges, but we await our results! Our teams won 2 of the three charges!

I attended a service learning conference & saw the same information I presented in my dissertation on high schoolers' civic empowerment, which made me happy. But George Floyd's memorial made my heart ache but motivated me to create ways for more student community advocacy.

We overcome by the word of our testimony! If you will be at #AERA24 , we hope you will join us for this very important panel! #Blackmaternalhealth
