What will you do next?

You’ve walked through stories of courage, resilience, and hope. Now the question is yours: What’s one step you can take to carry this work forward?

Speak Up
Civil rights leaders taught us that silence allows injustice to grow. Use your voice to speak up at school, at work, and in your community.

Stay Engaged
Join or support organizations in Vicksburg that continue this legacy — from cultural institutions to neighborhood groups. Change often starts small and local.

Mentor and Teach
Just as Kitty Foote, Peter Crosby, and Myrlie Evers inspired future generations, you can pass on lessons of resilience to young people today.

Show Up
Whether it’s attending a community forum, voting in local elections, or volunteering at events, your presence matters.
