Lined
to I i fe at a school assembly by Antwan
Ross a student at Vocational Village
High School in northeast Portland
As schools paused to pay honor
to A merica's King o f nonviolence.
Vocational Village involved more
than 20 students in a program that
was filled with music, skits and pos
itive messages.
The students were reminded that
"what one person does, make a dif
ference" when Torn Leselle became
Rosa Parks and re-enacted Decem
ber 1,1955. This is called the begin
ning o f the Civil Rights Movement-
-the day that one woman decided she
was simply too tired to move, and too
tired to take unjust laws any longer.
Each student was challenged to
make a positive difference in their
own lives and then for someone else.
Kevin Fuller, The Oregonian in Ed
ucation manager and Cristie Larry ,
Portland State University counselor
told the students to “wake up and
start living the dream.”
At the conclusion o f the pro
gram, students, staff and guests feast
ed on fried chicken, red beans and
rice, cabbage, corn bread and sweet
potato pie.
The program was planned by
Marjorie Arigbon who works close
ly with students at Vocational Vil
lage High School Ms. McCulloe and
Mr. Larry who are staff members at
Vocational Village.
