Drumbeats for Justice
The Spectrum, July 19th, 2017
The dozen or so teachers were stomping their feet, clapping their hands and chanting:
“We who believe in freedom cannot rest … ” they shouted and sang, standing in a circle inside a classroom at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development.
Taped to walls of that room were slogans and quotes from such iconic social activists and thinkers as Angela Davis, Paul Coelho, Bell Hooks and others promoting social and political equality.
