You've been given the power to rewrite a moment in history—big or small, personal or global. Maybe it's a law that never passed, a story that was never told, or a decision that changed everything. What happens when you take the pen and reshape the past? Tell us the story, whether through fiction, poetry, or personal reflection.

We recommend writing your statement in a separate service (i.e. Google Docs) and then copy and paste it in.

Author and civil rights activist James Baldwin once said, “I knew I was Black, of course, but I also knew I was smart. I didn’t know how I would use my mind, or even if I could, but that was the only thing I had to use.” How does this quote relate to you? Respond to Baldwin in a poem, essay, or story.

Can be written in your desired style of writing.
