The
contest is over and Richard
Allen would be proud of the youth who today are part of the
denomination he founded.
I
hope you are proud of them too, especially the 11 that are represented on the following pages as the finalists of A.M.E.
Today's First Annual Founder's Day Essay Contest.
The
compositions came from all across the denomination. Some of
the authors are young, others are approaching adulthood, but the
thread of being proud to be an A.M.E. can be found woven
through each and every piece.
The
voting now has concluded. The results now are in.
But it did not take a vote to let anyone know that all of the authors
are winners.
Now
you can see the names and ages that go with the essays.
Congratulations go out to Claynishia McGhee, 15, author of essay
1, who drew the highest vote count and who will receive a $50
U.S. Savings Bond from A.M.E. Today .
