I am pleased to announce the 2019 Jamaal Brown: African American Pride and Leadership Essay Contest. This year I will be awarding two (2) $100 scholarships to two talented essay writers. The winners will be given the opportunity to read their essay in front of the audience at the 10th Annual Black365 Knowledge Bowl!
