Description

$poken Truth From the Youth was written by Martin Luther King, Jr. Senior High School students, edited by Ryan Mack, and published by Main Street Broadcasting. This community collaboration book project is geared to excite, educate, and empower all ages of Detroit and America. These youth, through love and nurturing, have overcome an adverse economic climate in Detroit, Michigan to become scholars within the National Academy Foundation's Academy of Finance program curriculum. With a bright future in front of them and a lot of love surrounding them, this "village" provides a blueprint to how a community can come together to create intergenerational empowerment. The NAF's Academy of Finance led by Director Leslie M. Spain is part of the CISC Pathway at Martin Luther King, Jr. Sr. High School. The CISC program offers students the opportunity to participate in a stimulating learning environment that provides STEM infused industry-specific curricular, work-based learning experiences, and internships. The student authors who participated in this project are juniors and seniors currently enrolled in the CISC Pathway and NAF's Academy of Finance.
