"The Hate u Give"
"The Hate u Give"
By Priscilla A. (Mrs. Barnes)
About the Project:
"My topic is police brutality, a protest, and finding a voice."
About the Project:
"I chose to focus my topic on petitions. This allows me to include many sub-themes into the main focus of diversity. I thought making a website would be best; since Covid is in the way of physical protests, petitions is another way to speak on a desired topic."
About the Creator:
"I'm easily ticked off when I see someone's not being acknowledged, so I used my personal eye-witnessing moments to relate back to my theme of diversity. Recently, I dealt with being put [down] for being 'below"' those of lighter skin. You're seen as less for being a different race but in the end, as all say, we're all similar to eggs. Different shell, same insides."
"The Silencing of Black Voices in the Media"
"The Silencing of Black Voices in the Media"
By Mason L. (Mrs. Hobson, Period 5)
About the Project:
"I picked this topic because over the past couple of years there has been a major spike in this trend of not listening to black people, and disregarding their experiences."
By Oscar R. (Mrs. Hobson, Period 6)
About the Project:
"My topic was based on officer cruelty and protests about the Black Lives Matter movement, and I created what I did based on the riots in different areas of the United States - destroying buildings and causing multiple fires."
"Learn Our Names"

"Learn Our Names"
By Izabel O. (Mrs. Hobson, Period 6)
About the Project
"The topic I chose was bias in the media and judicial system. In many cases of missing people of color, they are marked off as runaways by police, so they don't have to spend efforts looking for them. Their bias gets in the way, thinking all black people are up to no good. The media also has a play in this because they focus on people who are not POC and give them headline attention, but to those who are of color they say their story won't 'sell.' I did this to give them a name, to give those who are missing a name, so maybe just maybe I can make people take a double look at the missing posters, posts, and even the small little 'have you seen me?' on the back of a newspaper."
About the Creator:
"I strive to be in criminal justice and be someone families rely on so that their loved ones can be found or their murder be solved, and they get the closure they deserve. I am a self-taught artist who reads many books a year (close to 100), and I love music (Kpop and metal are my favorites) and true crime.
I read these cases, I have folders of these names and their updates, I want families to know that there is someone following their loved one's case and that there is a big community out there who wishes for closure for them."
"The Art of Resistance Podcast: Ben Carson"
"The Art of Resistance Podcast: Ben Carson"
By Elizabeth S. (Mrs. Hobson, Period 6)
About the Project:
"My topic is microaggressions, systemic racism, and how one man was able to overcome it. In the podcast, my sister and I discuss the life of Ben Carson and how he uses his voice to create a better future."
About the Creator:
"I'm a curious person who loves to learn and push myself to be the best person I can be. :) I picked this topic because I thought it was a very good illustration of how people can change their lives and become people who can have the power to create a better tomorrow."
"Progress in the Capitol"
"Progress in the Capitol"
By Gerardo R. (Mrs. Hobson, Period 3)
About the Project:
"My topic is on the progress that is being made in the government. The reason why I created the model of the Capitol is to show where the most influence is being made. [We have] African American representatives, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Housing, and most importantly, Vice President Kamala Harris."
"The Obamas"
"The Obamas"
By Eva M. & Diana H.(Mrs. Hobson, Period 5 & 6)
About the Creators:
"As my partner and I come from the same ethnic background, we have dealt with discrimination and unfairness quite often. We also grew up with having Obama as president and know that he did a lot of things to help with racism and try to fix this country as a whole. We wanted to reminisce about when he was in office because we wanted to pay a sort of homage to him... seeing as the recent president was really bad in our opinions. We also respect Michelle Obama tons, as she was someone we can look up to as women."
