New Monuments—Proposals from Ms. Abbey’s 2nd Grade Class at Detroit Prep

A Monument to Arts and Civil Rights Leaders

Group 2

Our monument remembers leaders from art and civil rights: Michael Jackson, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and Audrey. They deserve to be remembered because they were important people who lived before us who made art and who made tough decisions to do the right thing. Our monument could be made of metal or copper, and it would be people holding hands, with a button on it that could play Michael Jackson’s songs (for example, “Billie Jean”) and MLK Jr.’s speeches. Another idea could be to paste paper pictures on the wall with Gorilla Glue.
