At a recent summit at the Clark County Government Center, teens were told to close their eyes and tear a paper to create a snowflake.
Students, who were either presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, treasurers, public relations specialists or historians in Black Student Union chapters, opened their eyes and playfully laughed at how different each other’s snowflakes turned out. Moderator Yvette Williams, founder of the Clark County Black Caucus, compared the activity to accomplishing a goal, noting that “we all have a different way to get there.”
“You know what else this represents?” Williams said about the snowflakes. “Look at the one next to you, the one in front of you, the one behind you. Does it look the same? Are you all the same?”
The four-hour event held about a month after school started included breakout sessions on budgets and recruitment, speeches and team-building exercises designed to equip the youth to lead their school’s Black Student Union chapter.
