NNPA NEWSWIRE — “One of the things that I learned from Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement was to not let anything or anybody break your spirit,” Chavis said. “There is a lot going on in some of our communities that is trying to break our spirit. I’m glad that Pennsylvania as a state has not joined Florida as a state to ban books and change the curriculum to deny the truth not just for Black youth, but for white youth,” he said. “Everybody deserves high quality education and there should be no attempt to deny equal education.”
