The African Diaspora Advisory Council is accepting submissions for Black History Month essay contest.
The contest is open to all elementary through high school students County-wide. Prompts and details are available through the ADAC HERE.
The deadline for essay entries has been extended to March 1, 2021.
This is our ninth year holding the essay contest and it really is such a joy to read these beautifully crafted pieces from children of all ages. This year, our essay prompts center around the Black family, which has been described by some as a microcosm of the entire Black/African-American race. We are offering a number of prompts for students based on their level of school and are eager to hear from them about examples of the Black family and community,” said Khara House Chair of ADAC.
