A reflection of my ancestors’ sacrifices

Elizabeth Franklin,
St. Louis, MO

I’m from St. Louis, MO, but I currently attend Dillard University in New Orleans, LA. My family has always been adamant about recognizing the sacrifices and struggles my ancestors had to go through for us to be in the positions we are in today. That includes learning and appreciating our history and emphasizing education and other opportunities to take advantage of what our ancestors legally could not.
