Digitelling “Theme Contests”
There will be ongoing story contests around discussion themes with unique prizes to mark your experience.
“Pay it Forward” Digitelling Contest
- The stories begin with Freedom Rider Mr. Jones and Charlotte business owner Mr. Corley, the authors of an upcoming book “Black Eyes/White Eyes.” They tell an amazing story of how they crossed paths as youths. The story has an interesting twist about who “Corley” is and how he impacted a Westside member.
- All People can eat in Charlotte restaurants and ride desegregated buses because of Jones, but he thanked his Dad for making it all happen.
