Holding Fast to Dreams: Empowering Youth from the Civil Rights Crusade to STEM Achievement
An education leader relates how his experiences with the civil rights movement led him to develop programs promoting educational success in science and technology for African Americans and others.
 
When Freeman Hrabowski was twelve years old, a civil rights leader visited his Birmingham, Alabama, church and spoke about a children’s march for civil rights and opportunity. That leader was the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., and that march changed Hrabowski’s life. Until then, he was a kid who loved math but never expected that the world might change and that students of all races would one day study together. A teenaged Hrabowski convinced his parents that he needed to answer this call, and he participated in the Children’s Crusade, spending five terrifying nights in jail. The experience taught Hrabowski that the world of tomorrow could be different and motivated him to make his life’s work inspiring high academic achievement among students of all races in science and engineering. It also brought him from Birmingham to Baltimore, where he has been president of the University of Maryland–Baltimore County for more than two decades. In Holding Fast to Dreams, Hrabowski recounts his journey as an educator, a university president, and a pioneer in developing successful programs for high-achieving students of all races.
