Reebok selected Broad Meadows Middle School in Quincy, Massachusetts because of its Human Rights curriculum and reputation for student activism. Iqbal’s inspirational visit and untimely murder five months later, on his return to Pakistan, inspired the middle school students to start a grassroots activist campaign to build a school in his memory.
Due to the campaign’s success Broad Meadows was chosen as a pilot school for Operation Day’s Work, USA, (ODW, USA) an American adaptation of Norway’s highly effective youth global social action program. ODW has been operating successfully as an after school program at Broad Meadows since 1996.
