Hey, my name is Makyah Thomas-Malone. I am going to the 10th grade and I attend Harding Academy of Memphis! The injustices and racism that continue today provoked me to speak up! I won’t be silent because my ancestors fought and died for me to continue the movement.
Our homepage is dedicated solely to students today, highlighting young voices across the nation via powerful six-word stories, art pieces, First Person essays, and much more. And a Memphis student is running our social channels.
