After rallying, as the students entered school in the morning, the community toured the school, inviting students to an achievement awards celebration next week to honor their hard work. The action was organized by the Boston Education Justice Alliance, a coalition of students, parents, educators, and labor made up of over 15 organizations. They were joined by representatives from the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization, Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative and City Councilor Tito Jackson. Carlos Rojas of Youth on Board emceed the event, and Richard Stutman, President of the Boston Teachers Union, spoke on behalf of the 11,000 members that are standing with the Dearborn community.
