Middle school students at the Susan B. Anthony Academy in Hollis wrote letters to prominent women of color in government, including First Lady Michelle Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

The event was hosted by Congresswoman Grace Meng and Assemblywoman Alicia Hyndman for Women’s History Month, which is celebrated annually in March.

The students researched the impact of these women on a multitude of issues and thanked them for their service.

They also wrote letters addressed to White House National Security Advisor Susan Rice, State Senator Andrea-Stewart Cousins, Assemblywoman Vivian Cook and New York State NAACP President Hazel Dukes.
