I, Too, Am CAS

In the Pittsburgh Public School system, CAS stands for Center for Advanced Studies. In CAS classes students of color are often the minority. As a student of color in CAS, I know that the issue of diversity is rarely addressed and our input to the conversation on race is often unheard. For my long term project this year I decided to start a dialogue about race, and give fellow students of color a way to share their experiences and voice their opinions. This is the Pittsburgh Public High Schools’ expansion of Kimiko Matsuda-Lawrence’s photo campaign I, Too, Am Harvard to show that We, Too, Are CAS.
