Lift Off

Donovan Livingston is dedicated to sparking the joy of learning in young minds, and in his convocation address at the Harvard Graduate School of Education he shared a powerful message of hope and hard truths. In emotionally charged spoken word poetry, Donovan declares that education can only become an equalizer if we first acknowledge the inequality and racial divides holding back America's future. Years ago, his seventh-grade teacher saw a rambunctious child, and instead of silencing him, encouraged his voice, telling him that our stories are ladders that enable us to touch the stars. Donovan now works to help every young person reach their celestial potential. He calls on us all to lift our voices on behalf of every child, as their brighter futures can light up our own. Donovan's speech has touched the lives of millions, and now his book can be shared with graduates and educators today and with generations to come.
