When I was a kid, I hated history class because I felt like all the people (mostly men, mostly white) we learned about were nothing like me. I’m a quasi-radical now, but I can’t imagine who I would be if I would had known about Grace Lee Boggs when I was a kid. I’ve just donated a few days worth of lunch money to help fund this awesome documentary about an American revolutionary who is someone I can aspire to be.

The fight over ethnic studies in Tucson really reminds me how important these types of films and books are. I remember latching on to any book by an author with a Spanish surname in school. I didn’t need a culturally relevant education to keep me engaged, I was enough of a nerd. However, I know there are many who need it.
