Armstrong High School
Hi My name is Sanai! And this was my first day of school
Glisser: 8
RACIAL WEALTH GAP
Nothing has really changed since the year before. Same ol books...
Glisser: 9
... and the same ol lunch. We never have anything fresh. It always has to be processed and frozen.
Glisser: 10
ARE YOU SERIOUS? No no no no that is not going to work
Its ok Amelia thats how its always been
Glisser: 11
Ill see you later
Well I gotta go now my shift starts soon...
Glisser: 12
* That night, Amelia went home to create a proposal for her principal to hear the next day*
Glisser: 13
Principal Stevens, I created an initiative that proposal a program that gives kids at Armstrong High School accessibility to nutritious meals and equal education opportunities
Glisser: 14
Wow Amelia! I totally agree! All kids should access to the same resources as others, regardless of where they live
Exactly. Not to mention, it violates the 14th Amendment because it guarantees equal protection under the law, regardless of background. I also researched the Racial Wealth Gap and how equality shifts depending on the amount of money someone has.
Glisser: 15
Ill submit this idea to the school board!
Glisser: 16
*A few weeks later.. Sanai arrives at school*
Glisser: 17
EQUAL OPPURTUNITY
Glisser: 18
LUNCH WITH VEGETABLES! I cant believe this. We have never been given food like this!
Glisser: 19
By combining food support with education, Amelia built a stronger, healthier, and more successful community!THE END.
