2017 Winning Entries

Letter to the Senator


Diversity In Our Schools from Asian Pacific Fund on Vimeo.

Many students feel a connection to Senator Harris, the first Indian American elected to the U.S. Senate, and were eager to voice their opinions about the challenges confronting the people and places they love.
