MAKING THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE Film on the Fight for Multicultural Education featured in The Laura Flanders Show
How did Black and Latinx students join forces with working-class whites to transform their college campus, change the curriculum and fight for self-determination? That’s the story at the center of the film “Making the Impossible Possible.”
