Description
Young mothers in Brownsville, Texas, ride a bus with their infants to Lincoln Park High School in a low-income Hispanic neighborhood just miles from the border with Mexico. The school takes girls and women aged 14 to 22 who are pregnant or have recently given birth. While they attend classes, a childcare center in the same school watches the little ones. Mothers can go there to nurse their babies whenever necessary. "If this school didn't exist," says principal Cynthia Cardenas, "my 53 students that are here now would potentially drop out of school."
