Hazel Hayes, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Hazel Hayes, (she/her). I am a Junior and a staff writer for the Evanstonian. I started writing for the paper last year, also as a staff writer. I write for the Evanstonian because of the community that it builds, and also because it is super fun to write about new things each month. At ETHS, I am a chief editor for the yearbook, a student ambassador, and I am on the tennis and soccer teams. I also work at ‘Backlot coffee’ which is a place that hands out The Evanstonian! Outside of school I love to spend time with friends, do outdoor activities, and read!

Sadie Dowhan, Marin Ubersox, Hazel Hayes and Lily Roback February 27, 2023
Violence on the basis of race has repeatedly happened throughout American history because racism is embedded into the fabric of the United States. From the first injustice against Native Americans to modern day, these factors of a massacre have sparked suffering throughout history that continue to affect Indigenous groups. Massacres are not defined by the murderous rampages of a single instance, but the massacre of culture and freedom that Native Americans had cultivated for centuries prior.
