Recent HS Graduates Dramatize Lack of Access to College, Ask Cooper, Gordon, Corker for DREAM Act

Recent high school graduates from Nashville Metro Schools will gather Monday at the East Branch Public Library to dramatize their lack of access to higher education.

The demonstration will conclude with students asking Representatives Cooper, Gordon, and Senator Corker to commit to supporting the DREAM act, a piece of federal legislation that would bring fair and equal opportunity for thousands of Tennessee’s youth. As the focal point of the event, the students will put on a powerful skit which demonstrates how thousands of immigrant students who have lived in Tennessee the majority of their lives will be denied equal opportunity to pursuing their futures in the country they call home.
