Moving America Forward
The week of May 11th, Michigan was the featured state in the 50 in 52 Journey project. The Journey - highlighting one state per week and focusing on the good that's happening in our country - searches out, interviews, and celebrates 'ordinary people doing extraordinary things' in their communities, cities, and states. Nora Chahbazi, founder of EBLI and Ounce of Prevention Reading Center, was nominated and had the honor being featured in this project.
