CRENSHAW : Essays on Black Life Sought for Contest
Our Authors Study Club, the Los Angeles branch of the Assn. for the Study of Afro-American Life and History, is accepting entries from undergraduate and graduate college students for its annual Afro-American Life History essay contest.
Essays may be submitted on any topic that explores the life, history and culture of African-Americans, club President Delores Nehemiah said. Entries should have appropriate documentation and be written in standard college style, with footnotes.
The Ford Foundation is co-sponsoring the event. The six winners, who will be announced after the Jan. 30 deadline, will be awarded $500 and be invited to the association’s national meeting in Atlanta next year. The Study Club is at 4806 3rd Ave.
The contest encourages student research and writing on black life, history and culture, Nehemiah said.
