While READ Center students may struggle with reading and writing, their stories in the Student Voice express their ideas, hopes and dreams very clearly. Here is a look back at a few articles written by READ Center students that have appeared in The Student Voice over the years.
What is change?
by Jessica
Change is something different from what is. For example Africa-American heroes like Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and also our President Bolrack Obama made changes but as we go forward things seem to be going backwards There are so many bad decisions that are suppsed to be protecting us. Some decisions are making african americans feel scared and clueless. It’s more young black kids getting killed than it was back then. ~Summer 2015
