The Brooklyn Barclays Center hosted a special rally with the I Will Graduate Day (IWG) rally, one of the largest educational events in the city, seeing over 11,000 students and educators gather to promote the importance of high school graduation.
The IWG Organization, co-founded by former music industry executive Tonya Lewis Taylor, aims to improve graduation rates and attendance at public schools. As a part of New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ Project Pivot initiative, many city leaders joined students and performers at the Oct. 24 event to emphasize how crucial graduating from high school can be.
