The Black Student Union (BSU) club at Prairie Ridge High School is dedicated to fostering awareness, inclusivity, and education. Led by Co-Presidents Arthur Thompson and Ella Glover Taylor, the club provides a welcoming space where students can connect, learn, and celebrate culture.

Recently, BSU leaders attended the Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast, an event honoring Dr. King’s legacy while supporting the Fred D. Gray Foundation. Mr. Gray, a distinguished civil rights attorney, played a key role in historic cases and continues to advocate for justice. Hearing directly from him was an inspiring experience. 

Arthur and Ella shared that learning about Mr. Gray’s journey and the lasting impact of his work was incredible. One of the most important takeaways was the importance of always standing up for what is right.

Prairie Ridge launched the Black Student Union club at the beginning of the school year. The club has been active in organizing student and staff panels, decorating for Black History Month, and collaborating with other student organizations. The club continues to plan events that encourage discussion, education, and a sense of belonging.

The co-presidents emphasized that it’s open to everyone who wants to expand their understanding of history and culture. 

“We want to create a space where all students feel included, valued, and empowered.” said Arthur Thompson, BSU Co-President 

“Our goal is to bring people together in a positive and educational way.” said Ella Glover Taylor, BSU Co-President
