How can low-income, non-English-speaking parents become advocates, leaders, and role models in their children’s schools?A Cord of Three Strands offers a close study of the Logan Square Neighborhood Association, a grassroots organization on the northwest side of Chicago, whose work on parent engagement has drawn national attention.
