A group called “Minorities United to Save Themselves” in New Brunswick in the 1970s established an after school program, “Freedom School,” to tutor children in the local community. The program aimed to bring college students and parents together to teach minority children subjects crucial to academic success, with the goal of ending illiteracy in New Brunswick.
