Through portraits and stories of exemplary American citizens, both historical and contemporary, AWTT teaches the courage to act for the common good. The original portraits and accompanying resources promote our country´s ideals, illuminage the necessary work of the present, and inspire hope in the future.
Operation Breaking Stereotypes is a non-profit, service-based organization working with schools to help students address ethnic, socio-economic, gender, and racial stereotypes through writing, reading, music, photography, and personal connections.
