As part of the MCPHS Juneteenth celebration, we invited current students at all MCPHS campuses and in all programs to submit creative work inspired by Juneteenth or the Frederick Douglass speech "What, to the Slave, is the Fourth of July?" A panel of judges evaluated the entries based on the criteria of ambition, innovation, depth, scope, and relevance, and the winner received a gift card. The winning entry, as well as all the submissions received, are showcased below.
The winning entry for the MCPHS Juneteenth 2023: Student Creative Works Contest is "Black Girls Curse," a poem by Tracy Sawe.
