On February 11th, local radio station 92Q kicked off their high school tour for Black History month with a stop at Northwestern High School. The major purpose of this tour was to help the youth in high schools become more aware of the contributions put forth by African Americans in today's society. Mark Clark and Troy Johnson, members of the morning talk show The Big Fat Morning Show were the hosts for this assembly. Students were challenged through different trivia games that tested their knowledge of black history. Games ranged from simply answering questions correctly to guessing a famous person's face that landed on a spinning wheel. Everyone who participated walked away with a prize in hand. Though the games were entertaining, they were focused on educating people on important contributions by African-Americans that usually get overlooked or are never even mentioned at all. In the midst of the fun a surprise was added into the mix. An up and coming Baltimore rapper by the name of Bossman came out to talk to the audience. The crowd was attentive as Bossman talked to them about how he achieved his success and his future goals. He said to the audience that he was a living testimony of what hard work and determination can do for you. He encouraged everyone to follow their dreams, work hard and never give up. 11th grader Anthony James said, "It was fun! It was nice to have people to come to our school." The overall assembly was fun for students and educational at the same time. “We should do more things like that,” said 12th grader Gregory Dorsey, agreeing with James. ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2005 14:36:00 GMT
