The Bloomington Human Rights Commission, in partnership
with the Office of Educational Equity, hosted the annual Diversity Day Peace
Run on Friday, May 4. The programming was driven by an active
group of student leaders from Jefferson and Kennedy. Approximately 300 students
from Kennedy and Jefferson High School started the run together at Jefferson
High School and ran to the finish line at Civic Plaza where they were cheered
on by City staff.
The morning ended
with winners from the Diversity Day Poetry & Spoken Word Contest sharing
their poems “As a Female” written by Kennedy sophomore, Jazzlyn DuBay, and “Colorism”
written by Jefferson freshman, Darilynne Shilibwa.
Diversity Day was supported by the Bloomington Police
Department, Communications Division, Joint Community Police Partnership Multicultural
Advisory Committee, League of Women Voters Bloomington, Richfield Bloomington
Credit Union, Bloomington Education Foundation, Jefferson and Kennedy PTSA’s,
and Allina Health.
