Wicomico NAACP announces BHM competition, allows students to express their creativity

WICOMICO COUNTY, Md. – In honor of Black History Month, The Wicomico County NAACP is giving students the opportunity to showcase their creativity through a unique challenge.

The ‘I Am Black History’ competition is calling on Wicomico County middle and high school students to celebrate black history through written or visual media.

Students can submit poetry, a rap, essay, or video.

President Monica Brooks tells us, it was important to give youngsters an opportunity to learn while also giving them a voice. “That the things that they do and accomplish today will be seen as history and will be looked upon just as many of our other legacy people in the black community of Delmarva are being look at now,” Brooks said.

The four selected winners will receive $100 gifts cards each.
