Free State High School senior Wendo Kimori has received a prestigious award that recognizes young leaders pushing toward racial equity in their communities.
Black history is integral to Lawrence history, community leaders with the local NAACP branch, Lawrence NAACP Youth Council and B.L.A.C.K. Lawrence discussed during Tuesday’s city commission meeting.
Wendo Kimori believes in walking the talk when it comes to equity work, so she’s doing just that. The Free State High School senior is reviving Lawrence’s NAACP Youth Council.
A night of cultural performances and honors for equity advocates, students and educators capped off a week of Lawrence school district tributes to Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday.
