: Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.

Today we remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to serve. Forever grateful. 🇺🇸

In an effort to highlight the people who are leading colleges and universities across the nation, we at Watch The Yard reached out to Mercer University  and did an interview with Alisha Mitchell(.a.mitchell ), the 2025–2026 Student Government President.

The position of student government president is a highly respected role and there is a special pride that one takes in being elected by their peers to lead. Alisha, who is majoring in Political Science & Journalism, is from Austell, Georgia.

We interviewed Alisha Mitchell and talked to her about her goals, leadership journey, and what it means to serve as Student Government President during the 2025–2026 school year.
