The Baldwin Book Club provides a forum to students to talk about these important issues and learn from each other about what is needed to be culturally humble leaders.

Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderón, more popularly known as Frida Kahlo, is a Mexican surrealist artist best known for her captivating self-portraits. Kahlo was a central figure in revolutionary Mexican politics and used her paintings to examine themes of identity such as class, race, and gender. 
 
A lesser-known fact about Frida Kahlo is that she was bisexual and some sapphic themes can be found in her pieces such as "Two Nudes in the Jungle" which she gifted to her rumored lover Dolores del Rio."
Sara Mora is a national immigrant rights activist known as @MissSaraMora on social media. As a teenager, Sara joined the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA), which shields some young immigrants from deportation by extending them a two-year renewable legal status. When the Trump administration ended the program in 2017, Sara was put at risk for deportation. She decided to publicly reveal her undocumented status and speak out on behalf of the young beneficiaries of the DREAM act, becoming a leader in the fight for immigrant rights. Sara is now the co-president of Women’s March Youth Empower and the founder of Who is Your 2020, a social platform that promotes youth voter turnout and engagement.

"I would just like people to think of me as a judge who did the best she could with whatever limited talent I had to keep our country true to what makes it a great nation and to make things a little better than they might have been if I hadn't been there." - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this past Friday at the age of 87 from metastatic pancreatic cancer, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. Since then, Ginsburg consistently fought for equal rights for all. In her majority opinion in United States v. Virginia, Ginsburg held that the denial of the same education for women as compared to men amounted to a denial of the law's equal protection. Ginsburg also contributed to the Olmstead v. L.C. opinion, which advocated for the rights of persons with disabilities. Furthermore, in Obergefell v. Hodges, Ginsburg ruled in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in every U.S. state. These cases highlight only a few of the many ways Ginsburg contributed to the nation's history, and demonstrate some of the many reasons why she will be greatly missed.
