The Equality Now Project aims to amplify and uplift diverse voices. In the spirit of achieving this, we’ve conducted four student interviews with authors from this project.
In this interview, we were given the chance to speak with Ebony Hardnett, author of the piece “Utopia,” and she expressed her desire for change within her community.

How did you feel returning to school? What challenges have you faced in getting your GED/HSED?
At first, I struggled with it. I was going back to school at 36, a full-time single parent, so I struggled at first. But then I just figured I had to complete it because I have children that are looking up to me, and I have to be about it. And it’s not so much just saying you have to finish school; I have to show them that I could do it too.
Home Again and Again: Recollections, Stories, Guideposts by Dr. Ann Gentry Recine and Louis Recine is our Spring/Summer 2024 Teaching Press project, and it is set to launch on August 10th at @ Roots Art and Wine Gallery in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
You are invited to explore the world of unintended consequences of producing carbonless paper and its underlying chemistry of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) on the health of the Fox River and Lower Green Bay. Using an interactive timeline, this book by author Greg Neuschafer offers an overview of 70-years of PCBs impacting the river, from initial chemistry development through discovery of its toxicity, to societal mobilization, to the dozens of complex court cases, to government and contractor intervention including actual physical cleanup, and finally environmental recovery. Each page of this timeline and resource book folds out, and features QR codes (scannable with a smart phone) that direct you to selected original references in the electronic searchable library to begin your journey.
