The Heritage Program is designed to address the academic needs of African American students in Riverside Unified School District. The goal of the Heritage Plan is to increase the number of African American students that successfully complete the 15 courses required for UC and CSU entrance (A through G courses). The Heritage Program provides African American students with purposeful academic, instructional, motivational, and familial supports that will facilitate the student’s progression towards college, career, and world readiness upon graduation.

VOTE!

The Voting Rights Act of 1965, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson, aimed to overcome legal barriers at the state and local levels that prevented African Americans from exercising their right to vote as guaranteed under the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Voting Rights Act is considered one of the most far-reaching pieces of civil rights legislation in U.S. history.
