Let the Little Light Shine: Documentary Screening & Presentation
Dr. Elisabeth Greer (she/her) has a passion for public education. For several years, she was the chair of the Local School Council (LSC) at National Teachers Academy (NTA), where her daughter and son thrived in their school community. As chair of the LSC, she helped to lead the fight to save NTA by speaking at Board of Education meetings, marching in the streets in protest, and ultimately, in becoming a named plaintiff in Greer vs. Chicago Public School. When she's not suing the city, Elisabeth works as a Full Professor of English at Harold Washington College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago. Elisabeth is originally from Roseland (wild hundreds, represent!) but now lives about 75 blocks closer to downtown on the near south side.
