Taking the conversation to a national audience.

May 30, 2013

In 2011 Albert, Ayinde, Ben, Cece, Clay, and DJ volunteered to be part of a documentary that sought to make their high school a better place. By sharing their stories honestly and thoughtfully they brought to light the complex issues of race, social-economic status, geography, and gender equality that had defined their experiences but that had not been openly discussed in their school. That project, named Allowed to Attend, garnered national attention in the New York Times, CNN, and other media outlets. While Allowed to Attend remains an internal project at their school, the students are eager to take the conversation that began there and make it a national conversation at every school in America.
