Donna Dukes: Educator

An educator with a calling, Donna Dukes is the Founder and Executive Director of the Maranathan Academy, whose mission is to help critically at-risk youth and adults graduate from high school. She is a firm believer in the importance of education, service, and academic achievement. Her life goal is simple: to help critically at-risk youth and adults turn their lives around and become productive members of society.

Donna is also a filmmaker, and has made the award-winning documentary “Stand! Untold Stories from the Civil Rights Movement,” in which civil rights leaders talk about the Selective Buying Campaign of 1962, and how members of Birmingham’s white community supported and helped their efforts.
