For Thirty-nine years the Carver Center has been helping the youth of Norwalk realize that going to college can be more than just a dream. Unlike no other time in its thirty-eight year history, teens of the Carver Center are more confident in their hopes to fullfill their dream of graduating from college.  Much of that exuberance has no doubt come from our First African-American President who raised the bar for what many of these young adults believe they can achieve.

To help Carver youth on their path to college, Carver mom and artist Janet G. Evelyn has donated part of the proceeds of her President Obama poster "New Birth of Freedom" to help fund the college tour. Norwalk Public School Superintendent Dr. Salvatore Corda has proudly hung the poster in each of the Norwalk's 19 public schools and says the following on what the poster represents to him: "The promise of the Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal, has taken us more than two hundred years to begin to fully realize. As a country we still have much to learn to change those practices that belie the goal to which we aspire: equal oppportunity for all. Ms. Evelyn's poster provides a striking, graphic reminder of how far we have come. Our children need to see representations like this as evidence that we as a country can and will continue to realize this dream of equality for all."
