Black Student Union Club

Discrimination and prejudice have existed throughout history. In particular, African Americans have had an exceptionally hard fight for their civil rights. As we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday on Jan 18, we are reminded of the continuing journey of the African Americans in the struggle for equality. The Black Student Union is a club on campus that focuses on assisting students with the issues facing African Americans. Even though the problems with discrimination have drastically improved over the years, there are still issues with cultural bias. That is where BSU comes in. Meeting every Wednesday in D-1 around 12:30 at lunch, the club gathers together to discuss issues that face African Americans.
The friendly atmosphere of the BSU meetings allows for a safe and supportive environment for students to speak about any problems that they are facing. Whether their problems are racial or they simply need help in school, BSU is able to lend a hand and offer help and support. One of the vice presidents of the club, Alex Ethridge shares that they have “club study sessions to help each other with subjects we're [they’re] having trouble with, and basically try to be a place where African American students can come and not feel alienated or discriminated against.” The club’s advisor, Mr. Spruill mentioned that the clubs’ discussions vary from talking about current events to setting up fundraisers and volunteer projects. He also added that the club is open to students of any race.
BSU sets up projects to help spread awareness of the African American culture on campus. They recently held a fashion/talent show. Alex Ethridge explained that the show featured members of the club that modeled “modern fashions from popular stores.” Interspersed in the show they had some members perform “pieces and speeches by prominent figures in African American history,” while others performed musical numbers. In addition to fundraising events, they also set up study sessions in which they all work together to get ready for the dreaded finals. Club Members are currently gathering thoughts and ideas on how to celebrate Black History Month. [still trying to get information on Martin Luther King Jr. Day]
The club is made up of many students attending AHS that want to make a difference. The president of the club is senior Ashley Ethridge. The club has three vice presidents, sophomore, Clarence Irvin; junior, Alex Ethridge; and senior, Robell Abdella. Finally, the advisor of the club is Mr. Carter Spruill. Under their leadership, BSU provides support and awareness of the African American culture for students at AHS.

BSU sets up projects [Find a different word for “set up”] to spread awareness of the African American culture on campus. They recently held a fashion and talent show [Where and when?].

Reword.] they had some members perform “pieces and speeches by prominent figures in African American history,” while others performed musical numbers.
