This $5,000 renewable scholarship is given to a student whose work and aspirations for economic and social justice reflect the values and accomplishments of the Rev. Jackson. It can be renewed annually for a maximum of four years.
"What's good for working people is good for America. If we fight together, women will get equality, we stop the Asian-bashing, we stop the homophobia, the race-baiting. We start to build schools, not jails." |
