Murals, Wyvernwood are topics at East Side Stories educational conference

The second annual Politics and Pedagogy last Saturday was titled "East Side Stories: A grassroots vision for education and community."  A collective of teachers and students created it to bring culture, food and progressive educational workshops focused on Boyle Heights youth.  The conference brought in L.A. area high school students to speak about various social justice issues in their communities. “We want our students to identify a problem or a concern of the community, and do their own research to not just identify but do something about it,” said educator Roxana Dueñas, Roosevelt history teacher and one of the founding members of the collective.  On Boyle Heights Beat.
