York is a school that really helps kids follow their dreams, creates a safe place at a time when a lot of kids need a safe place just to be who they are, and it’s a school whose teachers are deeply committed to ensuring that all kids, from whatever background, flourish. I would not have gone to the Ivy League, I would not have become a Rhodes Scholar, I would not be leading the largest civil rights organization in this country, let alone in the entire world, if I hadn’t gone to York. It’s where I got the confidence and the skills I use to this very day. – Benjamin Todd Jealous ’90, President and CEO, NAACP
