The Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority sponsored the first annual Black History Knowledge Bowl at Hargraves Community Center in Chapel Hill to encourage student success and stimulate interest in African-American history among young people.
Three Chapel Hill-Carrboro AVID Program teams – two from Culbreth Middle School and one from Phillips Middle School – and a Durham Public Schools team participated in the competition. The two Culbreth teams won first and second place.
Culbreth students Aliyah Walker, Kholiswa Tsotetsi, Tabius Sales and Caleb Bell earned first-place trophies; second-place trophies went to Aliyah Turrentine, Douglas Parrish, Ladajah Henley and Phillips student Adrienne Davis. The Phillips team included Davis, Jaszime Carver, Takeria Welch and Amber Wright.
