Fear for what is coming
Fear for what is becoming
Hope for what is coming
Hope for what is becoming
There is a place for me
There is no place for me.
create a wall
create a door
hide in a wall
break a wall
break all doors
You are on your own. The answer is already within yourself.
(Ramirez,2016)
Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed.
You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read.
You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride.
You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.
-Cesar Chavez
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
