Voices from The Past: Civil Rights Living Wax Museum seeks to highlight the influence of the Civil Rights movement on the rights and freedoms that we have and continue to fight for today. In the past year, activism and civic engagement played a significant role in awareness of and engagement in social justice-related activities. Additionally, social media served as a conduit for information sharing and education around activism and social change in advancing causes. The competition seeks to sustain the momentum of learning and engagement while utilizing social media to engage ComArtSci and MSU community members. We hope this program will highlight the spirit of ingenuity that we recognize in our students, and support continued growth and learning in the areas of social and racial justice.

In recognition of Black History Month and our ongoing commitment to learning and action in the areas of social and racial justice, the 'Voices from The Past: Civil Rights Living Wax Museum' program will allow students to explore the Civil Rights era by bringing historical figures back to life. Students will create, perform, and record informational vignettes depicting the activists, leaders, and dignitaries that shaped the movement.

Submission Deadline: Monday, February 14th, 11:59 pm
