​

The Black History Essay Contest is one of San Diego Alumnae Chapter's signature events. Each year, students in schools across San Diego County submit essays on black history in recognition of Black History Month and the many contributions that African-Americans have made in our country. Essays are scored according to a rubric and ranked in categories among elementary, middle, and high school participants. Contest winners are recognized at a community event where they are invited to read their essays. Participants may receive research and writing support.

 

We can't wait to see what our participants come up with this year!
