Creativity shines when local students are given the chance to celebrate their heritage through art. As part of its involvement in the 2025 Lansing Juneteenth Celebration and African American Parade, CATA partnered with Holly Park Academy to invite students to create art that represents Lansing’s African American history.
The student art contest showcased incredible talent from local youth. The winning design was featured on t-shirts worn by CATA parade participants, proudly displayed as they walked alongside CATA’s 40-foot bus, wrapped in a Juneteenth-themed design. Additionally, the top entries are displayed inside buses and at the downtown CATA Transportation Center, making the students’ work a visible part of the celebration.
This initiative is a meaningful way for CATA to engage with and support the community, demonstrating its allyship and commitment to the people it serves.
