Brooklyn JHS Students Visit Roosevelt Island To Learn About The Four Freedoms At FDR Park - Seek Answers About Freedom And The American Dream

Last Friday, a group of Red Hook Brooklyn Junior High School students visited the Roosevelt Island FDR 4 Freedoms park to learn about the 4 Freedoms described by President Franklin D Roosevelt.

As part of the class project the students interviewed people at the Cornell Tech Cafe asking:

What does freedom mean to you?

and:

What is the American Dream?

I asked two of the students I met, Jayla and Jalen the same questions.

Listen to their answer - the American dream is alive and well with these two young people and attainable despite challenges to be overcome.



Jayla and Jalen both liked Roosevelt Island, though the Tram ride was a bit scary.
