Teacher: Jeanne Judice
School: Emma Darling Cushman

Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "A real hero is someone who fights for what they believe in and does what is right. Emma put herself last and those orphaned children and others first. She gave the children and others she rescued a second chance at life, to be able to live without wondering where they will sleep that night, or what they will eat, or even when their next meal will be."
