| Quiz Bowl judging team |
Baton Rouge, La. - The SU Ag Center and the Division of
Agricultural, Family and Consumer Sciences held the 21st Annual Black History Quiz Bowl on Wednesday, February 25.
The competition brought together top minds on the Southern University
campus and this year, the team “Think Smart” won first place. The second place went
to the “Bad Company” team; “Nefertiti’s Daughters” took home 3rd
place while the “Urban Foresters” placed 4th. The top four teams
took home plaques and each contestant had a choice of a book from the Bowl
collection.
Each team consisted of four players, one of whom served as
captain. Bowl topics included a wide variety of questions from academia
to sports, books, current and past events and much more. In previous years, teams have included high
school and college students in the Baton
Rouge area and as far as New Orleans under the leadership of Owusu Bandele,
Professor Emeritus in Horticulture.
“It’s all about preparation, an important part of student
development in terms of understanding, appreciating, and being inspired by our
history throughout the world,” said Dr. Bandele.
The highlight of this competition was a rendition of Langston
Hughes’ “Ballad of the Land Lord” by ten-year old Kahlila Bandele.
