Description

Once just another unglamorous urban university, Georgia State has become a place of miracles and wonders in the heart of Atlanta, the city that spawned the Civil Rights Movement. GSU is a living experiment in the education of lower-income students and a crucible in which the promise of social advancement through talent and hard work, the essence of the American Dream, is being rekindled in an age of deep inequality and political crisis. More than just a story about higher education, Don't Let Me Lose This Dream is a tale that points the way to wholesale societal transformation.
