He's just 13-years-young and only in the grade, but already making moves. Elijah Lee, a Halifax County native, has been spending at least three years fighting for change in school and his community. "Just because I am young does not mean I can stay silent," Lee said in a virtual interview with ABC11. Young Elijah caught the activism spirit when he was 10-years-old and learned of a classmate who suffered from abuse at home. "That put a burden on my heart," said Lee. "They would go home to a parent that saw them differently than an innocent and vulnerable child. They would go home to a parent that didn't care about them. And that hurt me more than anything."
