Community Relations Commission 2024 Rosa Parks Essay Contest
Working together and creating coalitions has been a strength in our society. We get more accomplished if we collaborate and work alongside all people. The Civil Rights Movement has demonstrated that a determined group of diverse individuals can affect change to better our society.
Rosa Parks in collaboration with others in the movement championed change in our history and made our society richer as a result. Take some time to research and reflect on your personal goals and how those goals further the work of equity and equality in your school, your community and our family.
The Rosa Parks Sculpture Committee encourages students in grades 9 - 12 to write an essay about how to live out Mrs. Parks' legacy by stepping outside the bounds of their reality, taking risks, and shaping lives to make a difference.
