Student-curated news and opportunities for and by student changemakers
January 20, 2015

"ExhibitBE" - an outdoor street art museum in an abandoned Algiers housing complex - closed Monday after an eventful final weekend of celebration and remembrance of the civil rights leaders it honors.
 Read about the project that you've been hearing about/seeing pictures of all weekend here!
 Shout-out to all the Tulane students and community members who spent the MLK, Jr. holiday volunteering their time in the various community service projects through-out the city! 
THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A DAY ON, NOT A DAY OFF!
 
New Orleans' own rapper Dee-1 gave the Keynote address at the annual MLK memorial march from City Hall to MLK & S. Claiborne Blvd. We also heard talks from religious leaders and the artist behind ExhibitBe, Brandon "B-Mike" Odums, who quoted one of the images at the exhibit saying "You are your ancestors' wildest dream."

Interested in redefining what's possible? In communities where half of all students earn a high school degree and less than 10% are expected to graduate from college, YES Prep Public Schools is shattering the status-quo. Founded on the premise that all students, regardless of race or socio-economic status, can achieve at the highest academic levels, YES Prep is setting a new standard for student achievement in public education.
