Tapping into the optimism and enthusiasm of students across the Commonwealth, Discovering Justice’s Civic Superhero contest generated more than 100 entries highlighting how youth are engaging in civic education. Students submitted videos and projects which showed their work sewing and donating masks, art projects honoring frontline workers, videos protesting racial injustice, and letters to senators opposing voter suppression in the pandemic.
Check out our social media accounts to see a sample of the submissions.
Mr. William Ruzzo, History teacher at Boston Latin School who engaged his students in the project remarked, “The contest really helped [the History/Civics teachers] cap off the year in a very powerful and meaningful way. The work has already started to have a ripple effect that will lead to positive change for decades to come. [Discovering Justice] has planted the seeds of change that are sustainable.”
