I'm a marketing director at your publisher. My 12-year old African American daughter was among the middle-schooler's protesting at Fieldston and she and #studentsofcolormatter are stoked for your support, as am I. #voiceschangelives 🙏❤️

Students in the Bronx felt the school’s @ecfs1878 response to their demands to address racism on campus were inadequate.. So they locked them out. They are so organized and ready to win. @SOCmatter @dad_soc #studentsofcolormatter

As a parent of two alumni I stand in support and applaud this victory. Nonviolent protest works. This is truly "ethics in action". Thank you all. #studentsofcolormatter

This is what happens when adults ignore the views and opinions ok young people. I love that chose to repeat their space and that of administration by peacefully demanding the changes they want and want. I'm in awe of these young men and women.
