Jean Lewis- MD
The Howard County Maryland School System has an annual "Unheard Prospectives" to Celebrate Black History Month. Students study and research, beginning in October, a contribution by a black American that may not be well known and prepare to speak on their attributes and contributions. They are judged on their essay, presentation and subject knowledge before a panel of judges from the school system and the community. Jean was one of the invited Black History exhibitors. As always visitors were amazed.
