On Martin Luther King Jr Day, Communications and Media Arts High School staff, students and other volunteers came together to fix up the communities around the school to create a better and safe environment for not only the residents in the area but for many CMA students who deal with rough conditions on a daily basis.
“Helping out during the community project made me feel like a better person because I gave back to the community that I was raised in while helping future residents of the community as well," sophomore Dylan Daniels said.
Leadership, communication, and strong morals were demonstrated by the students who participated in the MLK community project. It made the individuals feel good for creating a positive change in the communities they help.
“Students who volunteered to help out gave the school a better image and I gained a new understanding and reasoning for helping,” said Senior Byron Foxworth said.
The community project improved the environment but some may also say the relationship between people because diverse individuals were able to come together and create a positive change in Detroit communities. This project allowed for cultural differences and social standards to become expunged. Unification was achieved no matter what the age, gender, or race may have been.
