The Black Student Union at Independence High School continues to make a meaningful impact by creating a safe, inclusive space where students can connect, express themselves, and celebrate Black culture. Led by Regina Moultrie, the club focuses on community, representation, and student empowerment.
“I’ve always believed in creating spaces where students feel seen and empowered,” said Moultrie. “When I was asked to host BSU, I didn’t hesitate. I wanted to help these students grow into confident leaders and build a strong, supportive community,” she also said.

Stark stated, “I joined BSU because I wanted to be part of a community where I could really feel understood.” Hopson added on, “It’s a place where I can be myself without having to explain myself or hold back.”…
