Detroit student travels to Washington DC to deliver anti-DeVos message
Good afternoon everyone, my name is Dannah Wilson. I'm a student in the city of Detroit."
She's only 17 years old -- but Dannah Wilson took center stage in our nation’s capital to be at the confirmation hearing for Michigan billionaire Betsy DeVos.
"Mrs. DeVos, I waited to listen to you for seven hours," Wilson said. "Now it's time for you to listen to me."
The student from Cornerstone Leadership and Business High School drove overnight to listen to the hearings for DeVos -- nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be secretary of education.
DeVos is an advocate for charter schools. Wilson tells us she's been trying to get the Michigan billionaire to listen to the needs of Detroit students -- but has yet to get a response. So she went to DC hoping to be heard.
"The schools in Detroit are poor and it's not because we are poor," Wilson said
