The Columbia Urban League, for the past 32 years, has commemorated Black History Month with its annual Young and Gifted Awards program by celebrating the achievements of African-American students. This program focuses on achievement as one of the most defining and transforming legacies of Black History. This awards ceremony is the state’s largest recognition of African-American achievement. This program recognizes approximately 600 African-American high school seniors from Allendale, Clarendon, Fairfield, Florence, Kershaw, Lee, Lexington, Marion, Newberry, Richland, and Sumter counties. In addition to recognizing seniors who excelled in academics, the arts, leadership, technology, and athletics, we will spotlight those seniors who have received special recognition in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
