What is “Ignorance?”

Christina is feeling sad and frustrated.

Shakespeare teaches her what “ignorance” is and what role it plays in people’s behavior towards one another.

We want to recruit YOU to be a hero, and to tell us about some of YOUR favorite real-life heroes! Help combat ignorance by telling us about your favorite heroes of color!
