wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This experience will never leave me.<strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s one of the reflections&nbsp;most often shared with&nbsp;Adrienne Diercks, founder and executive director of Project Success,&nbsp;as students&nbsp;gather near the Washington Monument at the end of the organization&#8217;s annual Washington, D.C. expedition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each spring,&nbsp;11&nbsp;students nominated by their high schools travel to the nation&#8217;s capital through a longstanding partnership between Project Success&nbsp;and&nbsp;the Minnesota Vikings,&nbsp;as well as, more recently,&nbsp;Tradehome Shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the week, students visited Howard University, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Holocaust Memorial Museum, and many of Washington, D.C.&#8217;s most iconic landmarks. Each experience created space for students to reflect, ask questions, and deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expedition traces its roots back to the opening of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, when Project Success first brought students to Washington, D.C. to experience this historic moment firsthand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the 2026 trip,\u00a0students visited Howard University\u00a0early in the week, where the campus was alive with celebration as graduates, families, and friends gathered to mark an important milestone.\u00a0Surrounded by generations of accomplishment and possibility, students caught a glimpse of what their own futures could hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Sumaiyah, an Edison High School student, the visit was especially meaningful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Howard was so beautiful,&#8221; she reflected. &#8220;Just seeing so many Black people graduating with their bachelor&#8217;s, master&#8217;s, and doctorates inspired me to keep pushing toward what I want to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-fd140ee106588d8aba71fe01c3d6e5dc wp-block-paragraph\">Another student described the experience simply as\u00a0&#8220;Black excellence in action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The group also received a private curator-led tour of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture before it opened to the public. Alongside Minnesota Vikings players, legends, executives, staff members, and community partners, students explored stories that honestly examine our nation&#8217;s history, from enslavement and injustice to resilience,&nbsp;innovation, leadership, and achievement, while reflecting on how that history continues to shape the present.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);max-width:var( --global-content-width, 1200px );padding-left:var(--global-content-edge-padding);padding-right:var(--global-content-edge-padding);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id35560_ba1efb-68 alignfull wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top kb-theme-content-width\">\n<style>.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column35560_e78bbe-df\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many students, the experience created space for personal reflection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bella, a Southwest High School student, found herself seeking a quiet moment to process everything she had experienced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-1-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-85a23fbfbeb1f80cce6d106a6ce4df72 wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I walked by&nbsp;myself for&nbsp;a little bit and really sat down and thought through everything I had been seeing throughout the day,&#8221; she said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflection is an important part of every Project Success expedition.
