Approximately 200 Wisconsin high school students gathered Tuesday, February 25 at McFarland High School for the second annual Youth Unity Summit, with opportunities to engage in courageous conversations, and build stronger, more inclusive communities, and to grow as leaders. The theme of the summit is Unity Through Engagement.
To enable more students to participate, We Are Many United (WAMU), in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and CESA 6 Center 4All, hosted a second one-day summit on Wednesday, February 26 at Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids.
At the McFarland Summit, students viewed the documentary film The Cure for Hate, followed by Q&A with Tony McAleer, author of The Cure for Hate and subject of the film. McAleer is a former leader of one of Canada's largest Neo-Nazi skinhead organizations (ARM, Aryan Resistance Movement), and an organizer for the White Aryan Resistance and Aryan Nations. McAleer turned his life around through extensive individual and group counseling. McAleer now shares his deep understanding of how people are drawn into White Supremacist movements and how those involved can reconnect with their humanity and society at large.
Students also participated in interactive sessions to learn skills, practice real-life scenarios and share ideas with peers and had opportunities collaborate on building a vision to bring back to their schools.
Dr. Jill Underly, Wisconsin State Superintendent of Schools, addressed students at the summit.

Wenonah High School closed out its annual Black History Month Celebration with a message from controversial civil rights leaders, Reverend Al Sharpton. Sharpton embodied a powerful anointing from the moment he touched the stage and for the duration of his timely message. Sharpton touched on topics that many are afraid to address such as charter schools, immigration, prison reform, gun control and parent-child communication.
Hosted by the Wenonah High School Culinary Arts Department (Diann Pilgrim, Instructor), the audience was treated to an elegant breakfast prepared by the students in the program. Reverend Sharpton commended the program and the school for helping to ensure that students are equipped with a trade that can support them after graduation.
The spirit of unity resonated throughout the building. Many left the Wenonah High School gymnasium with a renewed commitment towards the work of social justice and equality.
