High School Seniors Nationwide Honored for Their Civil Liberties Work

High School Seniors Nationwide Honored for Their Civil Liberties Work

The American Civil Liberties Union announced today the winners of its Youth Activist Scholarship for 2007. Eleven high school seniors from across the country will each receive a $4,000 college scholarship in recognition of their outstanding work to protect civil liberties, especially for young people.

The award was first given in 2000 to honor the efforts of graduating seniors who have demonstrated a strong commitment to civil liberties and civil rights through some form of student activism.

In a time when our rights are being threatened and our core values undermined, it is inspiring to see young people stand up and defend our freedoms, said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. This scholarship is one way the ACLU can recognize the bravery and determination of these young men and women who will be tomorrows leaders.
