CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY<br />

AND THE JONES HIGH SCHOOL<br />

MULTIVERSARY <strong>2023</strong><br />

As a seventh grader at <strong>Jones</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> in 1964, I won the Orange<br />

County Spelling Bee for the second time. Here I am being awarded the<br />

single trophy that was passed from black school to black school every<br />

year, inscribed with my name twice, in 1962 and 1964. I only later<br />

became aware that each of the white Spelling Bee winners received a new<br />

trophy every year.<br />

Though segregated and discriminated against, Still We Rise! I am proud<br />

to be back in Orlando in Black History Month <strong>2023</strong> to celebrate the<br />

inaugural <strong>Multiversary</strong> and the <strong>Jones</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> Foundation.<br />
