My Project
Help Us Bring Civil Rights History to Life in Spanish!
We are seven second grade classrooms working to help our young learners understand the heroes and movements that have shaped our country — including Martin Luther King Jr., George Washington Carver, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, and Cesar Chávez.
Our students will also be learning about Native American communities, including the Lakota and Pueblo peoples.
To make this learning accessible and meaningful, we want to provide Spanish-language books about these important figures and cultures.
Our goal is to Provide at least one book for each topic per classroom, so that all 7 classrooms can learn and grow together.
Your donation will help purchase high-quality, age-appropriate books in Spanish that bring these powerful stories to life.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
