Clairemont Elementary School and John R. Lewis Legacy Institute Announce March on Decatur and Conversation of Understanding

Share This Post

After the overwhelming success of the March on Clairemont during the 2022-2023 school year, Clairemont Elementary School committed to expanding efforts to include the entire Decatur community. It is with extreme excitement that the budding equity and social justice leaders at Clairemont Elementary School present March on Decatur.  On Friday, March 31, 2023, at 9:30 AM, Clairemont Elementary will lead a march from 155 Erie Avenue that will culminate on the stairs of the Decatur History Center, where those gathered will hear from dynamic community leaders and student activists. The theme for the march is "Extinguishing the Isms."

"We are confident that support from our school community can and will bring attention to and boldly take steps to eliminate sexism, heterosexism, ableism, and racism," said Clairemont Elementary principal Dr. Curtis Armour. In the month leading up to the march, students will participate in an age-appropriate curriculum that focuses on each of these "isms." At the conclusion of the experience, students will choose the social justice issue that is most meaningful to them and create chants, posters and banners that demand change.  

Also, The Clairemont Elementary School Equity Team, PTA/DEI Committee, and the John R. Lewis Legacy Institute will host a Conversation of Understanding, an initiative to raise awareness, educate, and unite the Clairemont community. The event will take place on Wednesday, April 12, 2023, from 5:30 PM- 7 PM in the Clairemont Auditorium. The moderators for the evening will be Mr. Garry Lowe and Mrs. Chanell Huff-Cox.

The Conversation Champions (Panelists) will tackle the rich and complex topic of diversity and inclusion by bravely sharing challenging personal experiences. They will highlight biases and stereotypes they have encountered, and how these difficult situations impacted them.  Speakers will also share practical tips on how we all can act in a more inclusive manner. "We will also emphasize allyship among our residents. More specifically, identifying opportunities to be an effective ally, explaining what allyship looks like on a day-to-day basis and highlighting the positive impact that allies can have on under-represented communities," said JRLLI Executive Director Jerrick Lewis.  

The John R. Lewis Legacy Institute, Inc. (JRLLI) is a nonprofit organization comprised of members of Congressmen Lewis' immediate family, whose mission is to promote diversity, support civil rights education, and engage in community service projects, including but not limited to Social Justice, Equity in Education, and Health Awareness, enabling future generations to continue the legacy of good and necessary trouble.

This Thursday, March 28th, Scholars will celebrate the grand opening of its new location in Mandeville, Louisiana. The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and will take place at 1901 U.S. Hwy 190, STE 27, Mandeville, La.

Scholars is proud to be cutting the ribbon of its second location in New Orleans. This week’s event will also feature some NFL star power as Cam Jordan of the New Orleans Saints will be making an appearance. Renowned throughout the NFL for his ferocious and creative pass-rushing, Cam, the Saints all-time sack leader and 8x pro-bowler, is both a student of the game of football and a big believer in the importance of education off the field. Cam will meet and inspire the students and families of the community alongside Scholars CEO Matt Baxter and other special guests. 

The event is free to attend and will feature giveaways, food from local vendors, face painting, pictures, games, and other surprises.

Scholars of Mandeville owner Ryan Fitzsimmons is excited to give back to his community and to provide students in the area with world-class tutoring. “I’m always willing and able to help kids,” Fitzsimmons said. “I’m a huge believer in Scholars because I’ve seen it work. It’s really amazing and I’m excited to be a part of it.” 

Scholars' first Louisiana location was opened in 2021 by another NFL star, 5x Pro Bowl Offensive Tackle Terron Armstead. Scholars of New Orleans has brought the joy of success in school to hundreds of students over the past three years and provides the template which Ryan Fitzsimmons seeks to follow.
