TWO EXCITED groups of Madison students — one from Cherokee Middle School and one from Memorial High School — left Wednesday for Las Vegas and the national finals of the African American History Challenge sponsored by the national organization of the 100 Black Men of America.
The competition is today and Friday at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and is part of the 100 Black Men annual conference.
(The book that inspired the students was “The Negro in the Making of America,” written by UW-Madison alumnus Benjamin Quarles.)
