Aliquippa students in grades 11-12 were invited to participate in the Student Black History Month Summit and Essay Contest organized by Stop the Violence Pittsburgh. On February 15th, students traveled to Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall in Pittsburgh where, among other things, they attended history presentations from the staff of the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, and CCAC. Students learned about the music history of jazz in Pittsburgh as well as the history of hip-hop and hip-hop legends from Pittsburgh. They also learned about Black women who made an impact in Pittsburgh, including some who were known nationally, and the photographer who photographed them and the Hill District in the past. At the end of the event, essay contest awards were presented. The essay topic was Juneteenth. Aliquippa High School students submitted the most essays out of all participating schools! Each school that submitted essays had a first, second, and third place winner. From Aliquippa, the winners were: First Place: Jahnaya Lay-Harvey $100, Second Place: Melissa Tepanrcatl-Chavero $50, and Third Place: Myracle Perkins $25. In addition, first, second, and third place awards were given out of all participating schools combined, and Aliquippa won first place with Jahnaya Lay-Harvey's essay.
