Pinellas Remembers Community Remembrance Project Coalition launches art, essay contests for high schoolers
November 9, 2020 -
The Equal Justice Initiative, in partnership with the Pinellas Remembers Community Remembrance Project Coalition, has announced an essay scholarship contest and an art scholarship contest open to public high school students in Pinellas County. Both the essay and art contests require students to examine the history of a topic of racial injustice and to discuss or explore its legacy today. Submissions should explain the chosen topic using a specific historical event, explore how the injustice persists and imagine solutions for a future free from racial injustice. Students are also encouraged to reflect on how the topic impacts their own lives and communities. For more information, click here.
