An Autumn Monday in Brooklyn: The Achievement Gap In Three Acts

In May 2009, All Stars Project co-founder, Dr. Lenora Fulani, and President & CEO, Gabrielle L. Kurlander, co-authored the "White Paper" about the achievement gap that exists between young people from the inner-city and those who live in more affluent communities.

This spring, Danielle Bowes--an Activist for Social Development Fellow at the All Stars--wrote "An Autumn Monday in Brooklyn" in response to the White Paper as part of her application to the fellowship program.

Needless to say she was accepted to the program! On July 29th, 2010, the All Stars Project's Castillo Theatre presented a staged reading of the play with budding young activists starring in the production.

Please enjoy!
