Why should I choose 3E Program for Social Justice and Change?
This program goes beyond what is taught in traditional schools and is an excellent addition to the current history programs that omit or gloss over the historical events included in the program. The nine topics explored are The American Dream, America’s 1st Crime, Black Wall Street, Police Brutality, Mass Incarceration, The Execution of Civil Rights Leaders, The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, The Tulsa Race Massacre, and Reparations. The students are led to take informed action after critically thinking about the events that occurred in the past in hopes of eliminating generational curses that plague us today. Calls to action, public service announcements, and  organizing protests and campaigns within their community are a few of the actions they can choose as part of their social responsibility. 3E Program students also get opportunities to attend civil rights activists’ speaking engagements and cultural trips such as Black Wall Street in Tulsa Oklahoma.
