Ex-felon Finds Freedom Through Literacy: The Literacy Journey of Milton Rucker
Is the school to prison pipeline for real? It was for Milton Rucker. He wasn’t a good reader when he was a kid. He dropped out of high school and chose a life of crime. In this video, Milton talks about the consequences of choosing "criminal thinking" over school. But things changed for him as he embraced literacy in prison.
What is this series about?
In the "Literacy Journeys with Linda" video series, you will hear from a wide range of people who have made literacy an important part of their lives. Many people around the world are illiterate. I hope this series can bring awareness to this issue and spark change. Why? Because Literacy is Liberation! It takes you higher.
