Welcome to Day 9 of our diversity feature here on tjTODAY. In response to the admittance of only three Black students to TJ’s class of 2024, Didi Elsyad addresses a letter to those three freshmen about her experience being Black at TJ.
Describing how she felt both out of place and that she belonged at TJ, she encourages these students to be proud of who they are and to make the most of their TJ experience.

“To some, diversity is a tool to avoid criticism. To others, diversity means stealing spots from ‘more qualified’ racial groups. But to me, diversity means feeling like I belong. To me, diversity is worth fighting for.”

Welcome to Day 8 of our diversity feature. As we learn about and discuss traditionally underrepresented groups, those in the Black community face national attention over recent events, leading to a surge in Black Lives Matter (BLM) protests.

Hundreds of students at TJ gathered together to march and protest for Black rights and equality. “We will keep fighting until equality has really been gained,” Senior Grace Cullen said.
