This year's journey began in the summer when I read the novel "Warriors Do not Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals who recorded the experience of collapsing the Little Rock City public school of Little Rock Nine and many other efforts. This reading is a framework for the critical investigation of our students on the history of our country from civil war to civil rights era. Inspired by Little Rock 9 and the Civil Rights Movement, students will review the UN Universal Declaration on Human Rights. After that, the students of the eighth grade of each elementary school will identify a human rights problem that constitutes their question, and join with colleagues who share the same will. Within 6 months, students research information related to their problems, volunteer in the organization of New York City, interview with experts in that field, and announce their experiences on the blog. Students write a column about their subject, submit it to the New York Times, and create a PSA for their problem.
