Thank you Nate Hunt & Battle Creek Public Schools for having us out. It was so fun chasing the parade around the city! We only made it to a few spots, but here are some highlight photos. It was an honor meeting some of the graduates including Danayshia Davis and Kelci Coy of Battle Creek Central High School. 💛💙

Here's to a new chapter of life with more accomplishments to come. Congrats BCPS, Happy Graduation. 🥳🌹🎉

Students led a community vigil Sunday night which encouraged action against racism and solidarity between racial minorities.

29/03/2021

Last night the Battle Creek community was brought together to stand in solitude against racially motivated hate crimes and discrimination. Local organizations and leaders put together a "Vigil for Racial Healing" to honor and memorialize the victims of the recent shooting in Atlanta on March 16, 2021.

With regional news coverage present, the vigil made clear statements against Asian hate, and called to disrupt cycles of all race-based violence. The event featured a candle-lit moment of silence, an acoustic performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," followed by powerful words of a few brave speakers.

Thank you to our local leaders and community organizations who put together or sponsored this event: BC Collective, Big Homies, Inc., Burma Center, Battle Creek Coalition for Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation, and Students for Equity. ❤️
