Channing Hill - Trinity High School Alumni
Channing Hill, a Trinity High School '19 Alumni, has been selected to receive the NAACP Image Award's Youth Activist of the Year award! The Youth Activist award will be given during the 53rd NAACP Image Awards.
Channing and seven of her fellow Howard University students led #BlackburnTakeover, a sit-in protest to secure livable dormitory housing for all Howard University students, current and future. The protest raised awareness about housing insecurity, housing equity, and environmental racism at Historically Black College campuses and poor living conditions on military installations.
The Image Awards were broadcast live on Feb. 26, 2022 on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) network.
