An annual tradition continues to honor women during Women's History Month in Monroe County.

Over 170 high school students got to attend this year's forum.

East Stroudsburg South Students interacted with women leaders in the area today. They heard their stories and about the history of women's rights. Guests included the superintendent of East Stroudsburg Area School District as well as state representatives and a female journalist.

East Stroudsburg South Senior and Lead Organizer Kondwani Keitte says, "I want students to understand that their voice has power. So much of the time you're told 'No, you're powerless. No, we only have power. I want them today to believe that 'No, my voice does have power. I can affect change for something good, for something courageous, and something right.' That's what I believe and that's what I want all the students here today to believe as well."

The Women's History Panel at East Stroudsburg South is student organized and run by the Multicultural Perspectives in US History Class.
