{"product_id":"2940156891894","title":"SECOND CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT","description":"EDUCATION IS A HUMAN RIGHT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe live in a world where a child in the inner-city of America has drugs and gun violence outside of her home while she's trying to do homework. A boy in South Sudan can be kidnapped into war and made a child solider. A girl in Nigeria or Somalia can be abducted from her school, raped, and never seen by her family again. A girl in Afghanistan can have acid thrown on herface because she has dreams of being an educated woman. A Yemeni girl will very likely be forced into marriage at a young age but will be grow up illiterate her entire life. These nations and many others, the United States included, violate the human rights of children to an education. Let the world rise in indignation, become inflamed with resistance, yell chants of war against oppression, and protest for a brighter future deserved by millions of children. Let us all know that to deny the education of children or to not fight for it is to deny our very own humanity as people.\u003cbr\u003eWhy a Second Civil Rights Movement???\u003cbr\u003eThe first Civil Rights Movement from 1955 to 1968 began with the lynching of Emmitt Till in Mississippi and the Montgomery Bus Boycott and ended with Civil Rights laws and the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, it opened the doors to equality but these doors were opened without equity. African Americans and other less privileged and oppressed communities were allowed to sit at the dinner table but were only allowed to eat crumbs or look upon while others feasted on meals. We were allowed to compete in the race of American education and economy, but we were given chains around our ankles, boulders upon our shoulders, and told to run. The Civil Rights Movement essentially won social equality, but educational equity was never achieved even to this day. In few places is this gross inequity more obvious, in few places is this more devastating, than in education funding.\u003cbr\u003eThe funding inequity in American education is one of the greatest evils and injustices of our times. The underfunding of the education of millions of children has a lasting, pervading, and ruinous impact on society. While suburban and more affluent school districts are adequately funded and the children receive an education which nurtures their future dreams, the children of the inner-city and poor communities are deprived with underfunded schools which starve them into nightmares drained of hope and opportunity.","brand":"Mukasa Ma'at","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083545755888,"sku":"2940156891894","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940156891894_p0.jpg?v=1764124277","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940156891894","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
