Decades of Leadership Honored.

3rd annual black history month essay contest in honor of garth c. reeves, sr..

Breakthrough Miami announced winners of its 3rd Annual Black History Month Essay Contest. The contest, established to honor Garth C. Reeves Sr., publisher emeritus of one of the oldest black-owned media companies in South Florida, recognized the research and literary efforts of nine (9) Breakthrough Scholars.

Scholars in elementary, middle, and high school developed and presented compelling narratives about Black women in Florida who impacted their community, inspired generations of people, and helped shape our great state through exceptional leadership. A diverse collection of essays submitted highlighted many well-known Black women and the contributions of others whose stories are seldom told, including the late Legislator Gwen Cherry, entrepreneur Felecia Hatcher, the late Congresswoman Carrie Meek, the late educator Mary McLeod Bethune, author Zora Neale Hurston, and Congresswoman Frederica Wilson.

Breakthrough Miami’s CEO Lori-Ann M. Cox, reflected on the significance of this program, “It’s invaluable for our young people to learn from and be inspired by leaders whose acts of courage and innovation have positively shaped South Florida.”

The event included networking, a gallery showcase of essays, and a ceremonious announcement of winners. Complementing Breakthrough Miami’s students-teaching-students model, the 2021 Essay Contest awardees announced the 2022 winners. The student presenters were joined by Breakthrough Miami CEO Lori-Ann Cox and Director of Student Achievement Webber J. Charles. Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, LLC (Coke Florida), the local independent Coca-Cola bottler, generously donated laptops to first, second, and third place winners in each category (elementary, middle, high school). Additionally, the first-place winner in each category (elementary, middle, and high school) received a $100 gift card.

“We are proud to partner with Breakthrough Miami again this year during Black History Month,” shared Coke Florida’s Carlos Diaz-Granados, Territory General Manager for Miami-Dade. “Coca-Cola Beverages Florida is the largest black-owned business in Florida and the fourth largest in the United States. Supporting educational programs like this and providing technology resources to local students in the communities we serve is what we’re all about.”

Garth C. Reeves, Sr., in the publishing world and ultimately his founding of the Miami Times, gave voice to countless stories otherwise untold. Throughout his life, until he passed away in late 2019 at 100 years old, Reeves maintained a personal and professional mission to speak truth through the power and reach of media in South Florida. The sentiments of Breakthrough Scholars in their essay entries revealed resonating themes of perseverance, hard work, and justice—greatly reflecting Reeves’ life-long practices and vision.

Breakthrough Miami is honored to have Regina Jolivette-Frazier, Reeves’ niece, is a long-standing member of the executive committee of its board of directors.

Esther Rolle – The Symbol of Power: Black Women and Their Impact

Throughout history, the arts have been an integral aspect of all cultures. From ancient China to even more ancient Greece, creative expression has influenced all facets of society. Presently, the media has taken that influence and spread it to all corners of the world. Because of this globalization, representation of any and all people is a crucial part of how these people are viewed by others. Black Americans have a long, arduous history of minstrels, blackface, and other harmful and demeaning portrayals reaching way back to the era of slavery. When television was invented, these horrible caricatures became fact to others, leading them to consider many harmful stereotypes as the truth. Accurate and inclusive representation in the media is important because of how influential the media is on our worldview, both individually and as a society. The fight for representation has picked up recently, but Esther Rolle is the spearhead of this particular movement; not only did she support better representation passively by playing a variety of roles but also actively by advocating for better representation of Black people in general. We are a culture–a people; therefore, we deserve to be portrayed as such on screen and consequently to the world.

Esther Rolle was a prolific actress that earned many awards including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. She also earned the NAACP Civil Rights Leadership Award and the NAACP Eighth Image Award for Best Actress for her work improving the image of Black people. She fought hard not only for James Evans as a positive paternal role on Good Times but also for more relevant themes and topics to be addressed. Rolle was also very involved with the National Organization for Women, for which she has given many public addresses. Her hard work has led to many Black people feeling seen and reassured of their place in the community not only in Florida but also across the country.

Black women have greatly impacted all elements of our community: social, cultural, and political. They are the hidden figures of history; every single major movement in American history has been backed by Black women, from Harriet Tubman in the Abolitionist movement to Sojourner Truth in the Women’s Suffrage movement to Rosa Parks in the Civil Rights movement to Marsha P. Johnson in the Gay Liberation movement. Women like this–women who have fought to the death for our basic human rights–paved the way for women like Rolle to address the more subtle, but no less pressing, issues Black people face daily. Stereotypes and microaggressions are insidious; compared to issues such as workplace discrimination and police brutality, they do not seem very pressing. This makes it easy to disregard them, which allows misinformation to spread, fester, and bring our progress as a people to a standstill. Rolle refused to stand by and allow this to happen, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and advocate for realistic depiction of Black people in cinema. Her career as an actress directly confronted inaccuracies while simultaneously thrusting Black women, who have repeatedly been casted aside, and their capabilities into the spotlight. Actresses such as Esther Rolle, Cicely Tyson, and more recently Zendaya and Lupita Nyong’o make it impossible to ignore Black women and our impact any longer, and in doing so, they inspire young Black women to do the same in other fields, including STEM.

The leadership of Black women has taught me that our potential knows no bounds; Black women can and will change the world, and I want to be a part of it. Witnessing Black women permeate so many predominantly white male career fields is plenty of motivation for me to do the same. We now have more Black female doctors, lawyers, CEOs, etc. than ever before. Our Vice President Kamala Harris is even the first ever Black woman to hold such a high position in American politics. This is merely a crack in the dam through which more Black women in power will flow in. I have been inspired to be a leader myself, which is why I intend to earn my PhD in Psychology and open my own practice that treats any and all clients. Black women, despite many trials and tribulations, are the past, present, and future of America. We will no longer be disregarded; rather, we will continue to go down in history.

Felecia Hatcher Moves The World - Nathan Samuel, Grade 7, First place

Felecia hatcher moves the world – nathan samuel, grade 7, first place.

Felecia Hatcher Moves The World

In the challenge for political and civil rights in the United States, countless black women led the way for over 150 years. It started with the Seneca Falls convention in 1848. Black women played an important role in the underground railroad, the Women’s Suffrage Movement, and have also created the way for constitutional protection against gender discrimination. Black women have a deep connection to the understanding of the relational nature of freedom; this is mainly because they are involved with various intersections of targeted maltreatment. Black women’s leadership is not just defined by their strength and persistence; it is mostly about how they constantly strive to fight for the common right. Whether black women are tapering the wealth gap, or running for office in the nation, when black women lead, we all win(www.forbes.com).

Felecia Hatcher, a black woman who lives in Miami, Florida, is an entrepreneur who is leading a mission to free communities across the “world of innovation desert” by working with government officials to create a diverse startup technology community. As a result of her work, the community of Miami has become one of the most diverse startup cities in the country. Hatcher once stated, “You already have what it takes to follow your most epic dreams” In this quote, Hatcher is trying to emphasize that you are born with the abilities, and don’t need anyone’s opinion to follow your dreams. Hatcher has committed her life to inspire others to follow their passion.

Hatcher spent countless hours accomplishing her mission to create 10,000 Start-Ups as the co-founder of Code Fever. Code Fever is an enterprise that trains and prepares African American youth in the fields of technology and entrepreneurship. As an author, entrepreneur, and the co-founder of Code Fever, Hatcher has managed to make a significant impact on the African American community. In 2008, Hatcher also co-founded Feverish Pops, a Miami-based gourmet popsicle company that donates money to community programs in South Florida’s 13 Targeted Urban Areas.

Hatcher was a keynote speaker who presented engaging talks on entrepreneurship, tech education, and programs such as TEDxMiami and TEDxJamaica. Hatcher is also the author of two very well-known books: How to Start a Business on a Ramen Noodle Budget and The C Student’s Guide to Scholarships. Hatcher states, “When you give and become a valuable resource, success comes back to you.” In quotes like this, she is trying to address that when you give and dedicate your time to a specific cause, it will result in success.

To help the community of Miami, Hatcher has stepped down from Miami’s Center for Black Innovation to lead Black Ambition. Black ambition is a nonprofit organization founded by Pharrell Williams. Black Ambition was created to fund projects led by Black and Hispanic entrepreneurs. Moreover, Black Ambition organization identifies and directly funds founders building tech, health care, design, and customer product startups. Not only has Hatcher accomplished so many things, but Hatcher originates from a black background. In the United States, getting a high position and getting a good education and graduation is difficult for blacks, and in this case, Hatcher is a black woman. The top opportunities and scholarships are hard to compete for because countless white Americans are tampering for the opportunity, and for blacks, it is difficult because many have to face racial discrimination. Hatcher had to compete with many white Americans to achieve the position she is in right now. I personally can relate to this. My family is from Sri Lanka, a small island off the coast of India, when my family arrived in America, it was very competitive not only for my parents, but also for my siblings. As of now, I am a 7th grader at Belen Jesuit Preparatory Middle School, everyone at my school is competitive, there are countless white American students competing with me in robotics and stem, so being from a different race and country, I know that in order for me to succeed, I have to dedicate effort and time just like Hatcher stated.

Throughout my life, I was always inspired by the fields of both technology and entrepreneurship. My older sister, Gayathri, and I watch a television show called Shark Tank. The show provides entrepreneurs an opportunity to bring in their inventions and get advice and investors, as well as to see if they could get an experienced entrepreneur to join their company. Similar to Shark Tank, Hatcher strives to give African Americans the opportunity to enhance their knowledge in the fields of technology and entrepreneurship. Ever since I was young, I was fascinated by the field of robotics. As of now, I am part of my school’s robotics and STEM club and I am also part of an entrepreneurship class. After learning about Hatcher, I am motivated to continue my interest in robotics and to use my knowledge to be able to invent something that would be useful to the human world. I’ve always had a desire to be able to present an innovation that would help mankind, and Hatcher has inspired me to continue to pursue this passion. Through Hatcher, I learned that nothing is impossible, and that anything can be accomplished with determination.

Throughout this essay, I dug deeper into Hatcher’s accomplishments and what Hatcher has done for our community. Personally, she has impacted me in a way that few other people have, and that shows how her constant effort has managed to make a difference in the world. She has changed the perspective of many young people, and continues to change Miami into a diverse community. As Jodi Picoul once said, “ some women are meant to change the world while others are meant to hold it together.” Felecia Hatcher’s dedication and commitment will continue to not only hold the world together, but will continue to change others and inspire countless young women.

Dr Tina Carroll Scott - My Doctor, My Hero. - Sheila Fernandez, Grade 8, Third place

Dr. tina carroll scott – my doctor, my hero – sheila fernandez, grade 8 , third place.

Dr. Tina Carroll Scott “My Doctor, My Hero”

So grateful for the opportunity to once again be able to bring to light the accomplishments of a  black woman that I sincerely look up to.

Dr. Tina Carroll Scott has been my doctor for over 10  years. She is the recipient of many accolades, including the honor of winning “The Heroes of Healthcare Award” after having been nominated and endorsed by many of her patients and their families. Those who know her greatly admire her and consider her, as I do, a leader in our community. Along with this recognition, she received a grant to be used to improve, build on, and advance the care of her patients at South Miami Children’s Clinic, where she serves as the  Medical Director. Supporting and assisting those in need is not something new to her since she was so graciously already doing it and continues to do so regularly. A great number of the children she helps are from at-risk, low-income, and vulnerable black and Hispanic areas.  Some of these families, like my neighbor, are uninsured and cannot otherwise afford private care by a highly qualified, caring professional like herself.

As a pediatrician, Dr. Scott’s main concern is her young patient’s physical health. However, from my own experience, I know that she goes beyond that to ensure that the child is emotionally well. She makes sure of this through a series of questions and questionnaires that she includes at the yearly physical examinations. The moment you walk into her examining room, you feel her concern and interest in not only your own well-being, but also in your family’s welfare. She is a  loving and caring physician with an attentive disposition and bedside manner that immediately puts you at ease. The way she greets you, the tone in her voice, and her warmth all make you feel very comfortable and safe. Her examinations are thorough, and she listens to you and yours with compassion and understanding.

In addition to so many of her great qualities, her attention to her patients’ needs does not end when her office closes at the end of the workday. If you have an emergency, parents can communicate with her after hours, and she will respond to your needs and answer any questions you may have completely free of charge. In her quest to offer more than medical assistance, Dr.  Scott also offers free tutoring to kids in the community that need educational assistance because they may be falling behind in school. She wants to make sure that both our bodies and our minds are well taken care of so that we can grow up successfully. I once saw her visit one of her patients at school to offer encouragement when he was having a difficult time. On a  recent Mother’s Day, she hosted a beautiful gathering to honor some of her patient’s mothers and grandmothers, making them feel very special. A very telling quote which she lives by is: “My  belief is that improving access to healthcare and health education will help these children to  build healthier minds and bodies.”

Through the years at her clinic the doctor has also been very influential in persuading her  patients, which otherwise refused it, open to the idea of accepting the much-needed flu shot by

educating them and gaining their trust. Furthermore, during this unprecedented Covid 19  pandemic, she has made sure that we are informed in order to stay safe and healthy regularly  offering information from mask and glove use to vaccine rollout. On her own time, she set up and hosted vaccination events at her clinic, which had been preceded by her personal information campaigns helping to appease Covid vaccine apprehension. For these events she personally put together medical volunteers who administered hundreds of vaccines. She also provided the follow-up shots several weeks later, making it accessible to those in need. With  Covid still a threat she hasn’t stopped, regularly speaking out about the benefits of vaccination and medical care. She continues to offer vaccines at her clinic for children, whether they are her patients or not.

In her pursuit to safeguard our minds as much as our bodies, Dr. Scott continues to directly make available information and advice on dealing with the systemic racism that was so clearly emphasized the Summer before last and so troubling to many, in particular, damaging to our black community and us, the young people. She is an advocate and avid supporter of Medicaid,  a federal program that helps low-income families with healthcare costs.

I imagine Dr. Scott may have had some serious challenges growing up a black woman in the seventies. She herself has said that when she got to Princeton she felt “like a fish out of water.”  However, she succeeded and became the first member of her family to become a college graduate. As a young black woman myself, it is very encouraging to me to know that the difficulties didn’t stop her. She is an amazing role model who constantly gives back to her community. I can only hope to follow in her footsteps.

In today’s society, we relate to doctors as ones with money and status, but Dr. Scott embodies what a physician should be, a healer. In her case, a healer of body and mind.

Dr. Scott’s contributions make her an exceptionally worthy member of our community and an inspiration to so many of us. We are very lucky to have her right here in South Florida. With  Black History Month upon us I am proud to share my admiration for her as a role model by honoring her achievements. I truly believe that with leadership like hers we all win.

Esther Rolle - Izaiah Afflick, Grade 5, First place

Esther rolle – izaiah afflick, grade 5, first place.

Esther Rolle

Esther Rolle was born on November 8, 1920, in Pembroke Pines, Florida. She was a famous Black actor best known for her role as Florida Evans in Good Times. She set the bar for black actors and was the first woman to receive the NAACP Chairman’s “Civil Rights Leadership Award” as a tribute to her efforts to raise the image of Blacks through her work. This essay will tell you how Esther Rolle inspired a wave of positive change in Florida and how the community benefited from her.

First, she made a positive change in Florida by being a great Black actress who was not afraid to fight for what she felt was right. When she was in Good Times, she fought hard for a father figure and husband to be added to the show. The James Evans character was only added after Esther Rolle had fought for the father character on the show, more relevant themes and scripts and was unhappy with the success of Jimmie Walker’s character. She felt like his character did not bring any serious value to the show. Esther Rolle’s character as Florida was a stern but loving mother. She was the glue that held her family together on the show. For her role as Florida Evans, Rolle was nominated in 1976 for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress Television Series Musical or Comedy.

Second, Esther Rolle was a firm supporter of black artistic goals. Her amazing acting gave us films like Good Times, and made-for-television movies like Summer of My German, Why the Caged Bird Sings, and A Raisin in The Sun. She played as Idella in “Driving Miss Daisy.” She consistently found herself in quality shows with profound roles. She took on roles that had an impact on society. To conclude, Esther Rolle sparked a positive wave of change in Florida by being an actress who was not afraid to fight for what she felt was right, and the community benefited from of her amazing acting.

McEachin announces winners of 2022 Black History Month contest

black history month essay contest 2022 winners

Congressman A. Donald McEachin announced the middle and high school winners of his annual Black History Month Essay Contest: Salim Bamoue, an eight-grader at Vernon Johns Middle School in Petersburg, and Mona Garimella, a junior at Maggie Walker Governor’s School in Richmond.

“Every year, I am thoroughly impressed by the thoughtful and nuanced submissions I receive for my Black History Month Essay Contest, and this year’s participants did not disappoint,” said Rep. McEachin (D-VA-04). “Tasked with addressing voting rights and the work of the late Congressman John Lewis, over forty students entered the competition this year with powerful essays. I am thrilled to congratulate Salim and Mona as our winners for the 2022 Black History Month Essay Contest.

McEachin announced the following honorable mentions:

  • Middle School: Reid Winters, eighth grade, Albert Hill Middle School (Richmond) & Olive Roever, eighth grade, Albert Hill Middle School (Richmond)
  • High School: Anthony Parris Wilkins, sophomore, L.C. Bird High School (Chesterfield) & Sriyutha Morishetty, freshman, Maggie Walker Governor’s School (Richmond)

“Given the ongoing national discussion and focus on voting rights, it was incredible to read the insightful perspectives from students in Virginia’s Fourth,” McEachin said. “The fight for equal protections under the law and equal access at the ballot box has been waging for years, and it continues today. Seeing such impassioned positions from our next generation was encouraging and makes me hopeful for our future.”

The winning essays will be entered into the official Congressional Record, and formal copies will be presented to the winning students.

2. Prepare your Written Essay or Video Essay

For each Quarterly Contest, the topic of your Written Essay or Video Essay (your “Essay Topic”) must be an individual you know personally, who lives in your community. Your Written Essay or Video Essay must address how the individual you have selected as your Essay Topic has inspired you and helped you build the confidence you need to achieve your goals.

Written Essay and Video Essay submissions must meet all of the requirements described in the contest Official Rules. Your Written Essay or Video Essay must be (i) in English, (ii) your own original work, created solely by you (and without the use of any means of artificial intelligence (“AI”)), and (iii) the exclusive property of you alone.

Written Essays must be 500 words or less. You can write your Written Essay directly in the application, or you can copy and paste it into the appropriate area in the application form.

Video Essay submissions must be directly uploaded to the contest application site. Video Essays must be no more than 3 minutes in length and no larger than 1 GB. Only the following file formats are accepted: MP4, MPG, MOV, AVI, and WMV.

Tips to Record Quality Videos on a Smartphone:

  • Don’t shoot vertical video. Computer monitors have landscape-oriented displays, so shoot your video horizontally.
  • Use a tripod. Even small movements can make a big difference when editing.
  • Don’t use zoom. If you need to get a close shot of the subject, move closer as zooming can cause pixilation.
  • Use natural lighting. Smartphone lighting can wash out your video.
