Since 1987 Evansville Central High School has used art by former Student Matthew Hawes without having ever publicly acknowledged his contribution, nor having ever given him official credit for the work. Instead, the school and the Evansville Vanderburgh School System has tried to discredit Matthew. This petition is to show support for Matthew's cause to get that recognition and credit. Matthew is not seeking monetary compensation, simply credit where credit has been long overdue. Thank you for your support.
