The flash movies you see on our website contain many powerful images from a number of different sources.  In particular, we'd like to thank our friends at Critical Exposure and Fixourschools.net for agreeing to let their terrific work be featured on our site.

The following pictures were taken by junior high and high school students working together with Critical Exposure, a DC-based non-profit that provides youth with resources to document the inadequate conditions of the public schools they attend.  We encourage you to visit their site to learn more about the power of photography to help build public demand for real and dramatic change in our schools:

1.) Quiana Reid (10) “College Readiness”
2.) Nia Hampton & Teneisha Pollock “Falling Ceiling”
3.) Unique Robinson (12) “Student Protest”
4.) Andrew Coles & Justine Holmes (9) “Auditorium Seats”
5.) Kayla Derusha (10) “Library is closed”

Fixourschools.net is a project run by Mark Borberly in Washington DC, which works to document in visual terms the sad state of many of the schools in our nation's capital.  We encourage you to visit their site to see even more photos of the kinds of schools we send millions of youth to... and to think about what these photos mean about how we actually value education in this country today.
