Our Profound Students in Action, Please Watch!

They were especially focusing on the injustice of our prison system's bias towards minorities. For the conclusion of the lesson, a few students from Mr. Gulati's Advisory class created this video to raise awareness about this bias, and it's impact on society. Please watch:
