Earlier this month, SCAN-Harbor Executive Director, Lew Zuchman was invited to speak at Bay College in Escanaba, Michigan.
The College extended the invite to hear Mr. Zuchman speak about his life and history with the Civil Rights Movement, as well as his work with SCAN-Harbor.
Here is an excerpt from the news coverage of his trip:
Currently, Zuchman leads SCAN-Harbor, the largest youth program in the Harlem, East Harlem, and South Bronx communities, inspiring the next generation of change-makers.
“That I chose to be a Freedom Rider, I realize how much that helped save my life,” he said. “I hope other young people like me who are struggling can find that path for themselves.”
Several local news outlets covered his visit, and you can follow a few of their reports here:
