Upper School Attends Powerful Film

On October 23, the entire Tandem Friends Upper School attended The Virginia Film Festival's school screening of the acclaimed documentary True Justice: Bryan Stevenson’s Fight for Equality. Stevenson, an important activist and changemaker, is a person who has embodied the Friends charge to let his life speak. The film screening was followed by a panel discussion and more powerful (and what will be ongoing) conversations by grade back at school about these important themes of justice and equality. We're glad our students had this opportunity and that Tandem is a place where we choose to lean into necessary conversations about the complex challenges that face our society. Students also watched this Ted Talk by Stevenson.
