“My favorite part of making my Senior pants was being able to do it with my friends and spend time with them. A quote from Malcom X that I feel represents my high school experience is ‘A man who stands for nothing will fall for nothing.’ In school, I have had to stand up for myself and my community so that is why I have the chains breaking drawn on my pants. I wanted to showcase my culture and emphasize education, so that is why I put ‘Black Minds Matter.’ I wanted others to know that not only do our lives matter, but the knowledge that we hold is valuable.”
