MALALA
Known around the world by just one name, she’s often called “the girl who got shot by the Taliban.” But she wants to be known as “the girl who fought for education.” She was determined to finish her education and speak up for girls’ rights despite the dangers she and her family faced.
Now, Malala joins the ranks of Anne Frank, Ruby Bridges, and Ryan White as the fourth child represented in The Power of Children exhibit. https://bit.ly/2VdLvPv

We are honored to share Malala’s empowering story—now open in The Power of Children exhibit.
