Take the Lead: Inspirational Young People Tell Their Stories
Enlighten the Community
"Some people didn't want us to exist," say members of the Liberty High School Civil Rights Team, "but we kept at it, and now we're the only school in West Virginia to have a civil rights team."
The team promotes diversity with various activities, including a schoolwide Racial Awareness Week. They enhance cultural awareness and encourage others to "celebrate the differences" in a small, mostly White high school. The team received a key to the city from the mayor of Clarksburg, West Virginia, in 2001.
