From Leaning To Leaders: Life After Lean on Me: The Real Students and Dr. Joe Clark's Legacy

My name is Dr. Pinky Miller. I am a former student of the real bullhorn- and baseball-bat-toting icon from the 1989 film Lean on Me, Dr. Joseph Louis Clark. I believe the reshaping of education in the United States must start first at home. It is a job that can only begin with the parent and student. However, it takes a village to make sure students become successful citizens of this world. This book includes pictorial updates of Dr. Clark's legacy, which provides for alumni profiles, fundraising events, the 2019 Eastside High School higher education scholarship recipients, and the dissertation research, which encompasses Dr. Clark's legacy.After writing my dissertation on the legacy of Mr. Clark, I felt sharing the profound experiences that my classmates, teachers, administrators, and I had had was not just "relevant" to the current conversation of the education system in the United States...it is a necessity if we want to effectively reshape the paradigm that has failed so many in minority communities.This book chronicles the impact Mr. Clark's leadership had on his students and those who worked at Eastside High School during his tenure, his failures and successes, why he worked for so many of us, and what is possible for those who want to really change education in America.Please visit my website www.drpinkymiller.com or www.leanonme-drjoeclarkscholarship.com
