Freda/Frankie will be leading high school students in collaborating with the U School's neighborhood community to create Ferguson School History, Arts, and Culture Museum. Ferguson was a public elementary school that was shut down in 2013 due to budget cuts by the School District of Philadelphia. The school's closing left a void in the neighborhood; the museum aims to help heal that wound and honor the space and people of Ferguson.
