First Graduate

"I can breathe again following today’s verdict, unlike George Floyd, whose life was taken unjustly. May his memory be not only a blessing but a reminder to keep equity and justice, kindness and tolerance as the characteristics that define us as a civilization." Terri Forman, FG's Executive Director.

Thank you so much for supporting our #firstgen #students.

First Graduate stands with our community and will always speak up against racism. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Elie Wiesel https://buff.ly/3rAnmxD
