                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 7, 1995
  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this 
opportunity to congratulate seven students in my district who won the 
Black History and Cultural Brain Bowl competition.
  These outstanding students are Mickel Anglin, Kevan McIntosh, Kim 
Jefferson, Latonya Cooper, Jason Gibson, Markease Doe, and Rolando 
Cooper. All seven attend Plantation High School.
  For 6 months these students studied black history during lunch, after 
school, late at night, and on weekends. They read books by major 
African-American authors, and learned about the contributions that 
African-Americans have made to American history, politics, sports, 
entertainment, the arts, and sciences.
  They won the Broward County School district competition in October, 
and in late February beat out 10 other teams for the trophy and 4-year 
college scholarships.
  I am proud to represent such outstanding young people and I am 
confident that all of these students will join the next generation of 
African-American leaders.
