Miles Corwin, a renowned author and seasoned reporter for the Los Angeles Times, embarked on a remarkable journey during a full school year, immersing himself in the lives of twelve extraordinary high school seniors from South-Central. These remarkable individuals had gained entry into a gifted program due to their exceptional intelligence and test scores. Despite attending classrooms plagued by the constant threat of gunfire shattering through windows, Corwin closely chronicled their awe-inspiring odyssey as they confronted the monumental challenges of their academic lives. And Still We Rise is a profoundly unforgettable narrative, capturing their relentless pursuit of triumph over adversity, a feat that would shatter the dreams of any but the most extraordinary souls.
