Dear Editor,
We are writing as members of the senior class of Haddonfield Memorial High School to
express our support and gratitude to the junior class for the selection of Black Lives
Matter Philly as the organization to receive funds from the junior class spirit week
activities.
Over the past few years, many of us have had a growing understanding of the history,
complexity, institutionalism and pain of race-related issues. We have grown in our
academic, intellectual and emotional learning on these matters, and stand firmly behind
the need to dismantle white supremacy and to ensure that our friends, family and
community members of color are respected, have a voice, and are represented at all
levels of our school and community.
We would like to thank the school administration and board for supporting our friends
and fellow students in their selection of an organization which challenges all of us to
think, grow and understand racial issues in a manner which benefits our greater
community.
Sincerely,
Members of the HMHS Class of 2021
