Harmon and Kluckman Win Poster Contest
February 22, 2021
As part of the Media class's month long Black History Month project, the seventh graders partook in a poster contest. First, they were shown a short documentary called "A Time For Justice", in which they were shown many different stories that became part of the Civil Rights Movement. After watching the documentary they were asked to choose one of the stories they were shown, and create a poster for that specific event. Some of their choices were Emmet Till, The Freedom Riders, Rosa Parks, the Lunch Counter Protests, public segregation, the 16 Street Baptist Church Bombing, Martin Luther King Junior, the Little Rock Nine, and others. The Media class students gathered up all the posters, and chose a poster depicting what happened to Emmet Till, drawn by Jada Harmon and ReNae Kluckman, as the winner! We would also like to think Mr. Hiatt for allowing us to come into his classroom to share these important stories with the seventh grade class.
