In celebration of Black History Pittsburgh Lincoln students rallied and voted to take a stance on problems that are impacting their own community today.
As part of Pittsburgh Lincoln’s S.T.E.A.M. Project Based Learning, students are learning through instruction and research that their ancestors made a difference in society by protesting and standing up for what’s right during the Civil Rights Movement in peaceful and non-violent ways.
They decided to focus on violence, particularly Black on Black crime and police brutality. This peaceful protest was in hopes to bring awareness to these problems and make a difference for their community
Pittsburgh Lincoln students took a stand to make a difference in their community with their first March for Peace.
Planned and organized by third, fourth and fifth graders, the march was to stop crime and promote peace, love and unity.
Students led the march by demonstrating some of the peaceful tactics leaders took during the Civil Rights Movement. Through song, art, dance, and marching, hundreds gathered to march through to the Lincoln-Larimer neighborhood.
Participants were Pittsburgh Lincoln Students and staff, Virginia Hill, principal; Mayor Bill Peduto; Superintendent Linda Lane, Pittsburgh School District Board Members, and Pittsburgh Police Bureau- Zone 5 officers.
