Baton Rouge, La. - The Southern University Agricultural Land-Grant
Campus’s 23rd Annual Black History Quiz
Bowl held on February 21 was a huge success.
This year, the Bluez
& Goldz Team, comprising of
Myeisha Webb, Kelvin Wells, Jr., Terrence Curry, Joyner Deamer, and Eric
Thompson, Jr. took first place. The Urban Roots Team came in second place, and
the Kemeits Team finished in 3rd place. The top three teams took
home plaques while each contestant had a choice of book by an African American or
about some aspect of the Black experience from the available collection.
Each team consisted of four players, one of whom served as
captain. Questions included a wide variety of topics from academia to
sports, books, current and past events and much more. The Bowl, under the leadership of Owusu
Bandele, Professor Emeritus in Horticulture, is open to all SU campuses and
even area high schools.
Dr. Bandele expressed his appreciation for the turn out and number
of participating teams and reinforced the development offered to students in
preparing, organizing teams and being inspired by knowledge of the black heritage.
