July 19, 2017 <br />Item 6d. <br />Essay Contest <br />Background <br />Since 1986, the Roseville Human Rights Commission has been sponsoring an essay contest for <br />area middle school students. This is an opportunity to reach out to students and their families <br />and get the talking about human rights. With the reorganization of the Human Rights and <br />Community Engagement Commissions, the consensus was to continue offering this opportunity <br />for local students. <br />A subcommittee was formed that consisted of Commissioners Eichenlaub, Djevi, Carey, Hansel, <br />and Holub. The full commission sent in potential essay topics which were added to the list that <br />was created over the years. The subcommittee met on Thursday, July 13, 2017 and is <br />recommending the following question. <br />Disparities such as racism, sexism, and ageism - among others - are still occurring today. Choose <br />one disparity and explain what you think the underlying cause is. What can be done to address <br />it? Include personal and/or sourced examples. <br />Requested Action <br />The Commission will be asked to provide input and finalize the 2018 Essay Contest question <br />under item 8a. <br /> <br />
