Davis High's juniors were in for a treat as they dove headfirst into a thought-provoking assembly on #civilrights. Three dynamic speakers took the stage, urging these young minds not just to learn from history but to actively shape the future narrative.

But it wasn't just words—Harold DeHorney added a musical dimension, transporting the audience to the heart of the era. Finally, Brigham Young University professor Chris Crowe shared how he researched his book "Getting Away With Murder - The Truth About The Emmett Till Case."
In the end, students were left with the message: knowing history isn't enough; it's about using that knowledge to forge a brighter tomorrow.
