Lesley, one of 21 Futures Ignite Work Based Learning program participants this spring, worked with @TheMarketingArm.
The experience helped redirect what she plans to study in college. Lesley plans to attend @UofR this fall.

We are thrilled to continue to partner with The Marketing Arm on our work-based learning program.
The 20 Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School students who participated in the program found it transformational.

"I don’t want people to think #Juneteenth is just one day. There is too much educational components. We have too much to do."
Those are the words of #OpalLee, activist who worked to have Juneteenth recognized as a federal holiday.

Juneteenth is the newest federal holiday in the U.S., commemorating the end of slavery in the country. But the holiday dates back centuries, to 1865, when Union soldiers landed in Galveston, Texas, with news the war had ended. democracynow.org/2022/6/20/j…

Today we celebrate how far we've come in the struggle for Black liberation, and we recommit to ending racial injustice as a barrier to student opportunity.
