I’m excited to announce that nominations are officially open for The Fayetteville Observer’s Future Black History Makers 2025.
We started this program in 2023 with our partners at Cumberland County Schools in honor of Black History Month.
These students are standouts because of academics, sports, artistry, kindness and humor. This year, we’ll continue to include both elementary and middle school students.
