Stephen loved to print t-shirts and as part of the creative activities for the children to get involved with, they’ve been asked to print their own with messages of hope.

What a great day we had commemorating Stephen Lawrence Day by designing T-shirts with symbols of love and hope. Stephen's T-Shirt designs are in the archive @DMUSpecialColls held @dmuleicester
Stephen dreamed of being an architect and so children were invited to get involved in activities that inspired them and empower them to live their best life. One activity includes using music to inspire a drawing exercise.

And these young people are the reason we continue to raise awareness of societal injustice. They remind us that change for good is possible.
This is the impact of collaborating with such power partners @SLRC_DMU @sal2nd @sldayfdn #SL30 #HopefulFutures
