Drew's Student Equity Committee stepped up in a major way last week at ASALH Youth Day! 💡 We were honored to take a leadership role at this inspiring celebration of Black history emphasizing the impact of Black labor, held at @morehouse1867. Our students guided attendees through an Equitable Dinners experience, using our Thriving Together Atlanta play to spark deep, meaningful conversations. They expertly facilitated small-group discussions showcasing the incredible leadership, facilitation, and community dialogue skills they've developed through the Youth Equity Incubator. It was a powerful opportunity to engage with educators and community leaders passionate about history and justice. Drew was honored to be invited to participate on this significant public stage! (ASALH: Association for the Study of African American Life and History, founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and the driving force behind the creation of Black History Month continues its mission to preserve and promote African American history and culture at Morehouse College.)
