3. Engage the Community: Foster a sense of pride and connection within Stockton by inviting residents to share their stories, contribute materials, and participate in events celebrating the legacy of these educators.

4. Educate and Inspire: Create resources, workshops, and programs that honor this history while inspiring future generations to carry forward the values of equity, resilience, and dedication.
