Friday - June 26th - Be The Change You Want To See In The World!

Mahatma Gandhi was an Indian lawyer, politician, activist, and writer who became the leader of the movement against the British rule of India. A famous quote by Gandhi is, “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Stefan Perez, a 16 year old from Detroit, led a peaceful protest in Michigan against police brutality. Let the attached video be a lesson to you that no matter your age, you too can be the change you want to see in the world!
