Thirty Heights High juniors and seniors participated in the discussion.
“It was really amazing how informed Ms. Lawrence is about politics,” said senior Londyn Crenshaw. “It makes a big difference when people who are just 10 years older than us come to talk about political issues. When she said ‘this is your time,’ that really made me think. I have been involved in my community and will continue to be involved in grassroots activism because it’s important.”
