Passing the Torch describes the remarkable achievements of public
university students from marginalized populations who transcend
oppression and poverty to become powerful leaders for social
justice. Ruth and Bill Goldman drew upon their expertise in mental
health and higher education to launch a scholarship program in the
San Francisco Bay Area which provides assistance to people of
color, recent immigrants and others from marginalized populations,
in order to help them become leaders for social change. In addition
to tuition assistance, they offer a package of wrap around benefits
to replicate the support higher income students receive from their
families. To date, every single participant graduated from college
and more than seventy percent earned graduate degrees from
prestigious universities. Ruth Goldman's personal story as a
Holocaust survivor and Bill's as the grandson of Jewish refugees
who fled discrimination inform the program and draw a parallel to
the plight of modern day refugees and the disenfranchised seeking
opportunity in the United States today. Passing the Torch shows how
the New Leader Scholars overcome poverty and discrimination in
order to acquire an education while sustaining their idealism as
they strive to achieve greater equity and justice for all.
