Hello! My name is Jemima Williams, and I am a member of the Generation PRX Youth Editorial Board. This topic was a smart choice, because it is a very touchy subject. The questions were on point, along with the responses. The length of the peice was decent, but next time try to stretch it out a bit. Also, adding background music would knock this piece up 2 levels! The dicton was clear, but sounded just a tad scripted. Otherwise, your piece was well thought out recorded. Good Job!
