Moise St. Louis, St. Michael's Director of Multicultural Affairs and Assistant Dean of Students, noted, in sharing this video, that "the experience by all of our children in our school system of whom and what they and don’t see, what they read and don’t read, and the information shared and not shared with them should steel our spines to work harder on their behalf. Vermont’s future and the future of our society will be as good as the exposure and education our kids get."
