We also learn about the school’s utterly harrowing yet remarkable early days - inside the largest housing project in the USA, in its very poorest census tract. Exploring the contrast of promises kept against a pervasive backdrop of promises broken, Tomorrow’s Hope celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. |
