Why open a school? To close a prison | Nadia Lopez

Our kids are our future, and it's crucial they believe it themselves. That's why TED Fellow Nadia Lopez opened a scholastic sanctuary in Brownsville, Brooklyn, one of the most underserved and violent areas in all of New York City– since she thinks in every child's luster and abilities. In this brief, stimulating talk, the starting principal of Mott Hall Bridges Academy (and a star of People of New york city) shares how she helps her scholars envision a brighter future on their own and their families.
