Review for Operation Understanding DC, Washington, DC, USA
When I was 16 I had the opportunity to participate in an amazing experience because of this organization. We learned all about the civil rights movement, and the importance of social justice in our everyday lives. Traveling through the deep south with my peers changed my perspective and my life. I am now a teacher in the inner city, working with the tools that OUDC gave me years ago, and are still entirely relevant today.
