The village council proposed reopening the school as a Global Leadership Green Technology (GLGT) program. Instead, the school was set to be an open-enrollment arts schools. Organizer Jitu Brown co-wrote the proposal as a means of preparing students for a competitive future in STEM fields.The community fought for their school and met with the mayor on a few occasions, but their voices were not heard. On August 17, they began a hunger strike – fasting for their school and their community. They continued this strike for 34 days, which ended on September 19 because, as Brown said, he felt with all his heart that the mayor would have just let them die.Jitu Brown For KBOO News In-Depth, I spoke with Jitu Brown, National Director of the Journey for Justice Alliance and one of the hunger strikers, about Dyett, the strike and the greater ramifications of failing Chicago’s black and brown students.
