NEWS: Stop & Shop Strike + Affinity Housing! - https://mailchi.mp/8d1a0d4de32b/news-stop-shop-strike-affinity-housing

"So many first-generation college students, lower-income students and students of color had to overcome entrenched inequalities to apply to college, often with minimal help. And, once on campus, they often were told they didn’t really belong. Meanwhile, the people indicted last week supposedly decided that wealth and privilege weren’t enough; they allegedly added bribes, faked tests and forged athletic credentials. If these allegations are proved true, these parents literally did steal seats at good schools, the age-old charge against minority students."

Perspective | I was a first-generation college student at an elite college. The admissions scandal reopens old wounds. Poor and minority students are used to being told we've stolen someone else's spot.
