This was a wonderful interview with Victoria Bell, she is currently a member of the Black Student Union (BSU), and this is about the reasons why she joined BSU, how she thinks BSU will spread awareness, who her favorite Black leader is, whether or not she will continue to be involved with BSU to help spread awareness, how BSU has helped her, what our club could do to help spread awareness about black lives, and what does being black in America mean to her. So please enjoy her response, and if you're interested in BSU they are always looking for more members.
My friends joined BSU to learn more about black culture so I decided that I wanted to join, and I believed that I could better understand black lives and black culture. I also wanted to join to meet new people and have someone to relate to. I think I’ve made an impact because being in BSU helps spread awareness and help me feel more connected to people just like me. My favorite black leader is Ruby Bridges when in 1960 she became the first black person to go to an all-white school and she was there every day, she is still alive today being 67 years old. I believe I will continue to be involved with BSU, because I want other people to know what we can go through on a daily basis in and out of school. BSU has helped me connect with other people and has taught me about black influencers other than Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. I think the best way journalism club could help spread awareness about black lives is to talk about the struggles black people go through as a kid and an adult. And being black in America means to me that some people will only see me for the color of my skin and that I might not get the same opportunities as other people. And that one day I hope people will see beyond that.
