Wilson earns NAACP scholarship
The Etowah County (Gadsden) Chapter of the NAACP recently awarded its Elaine Harris Spearman, Esq., Academic Character and Service Scholarship in the amount of $1,000 to Taurus Levelle Wilson Jr.
Wilson is a graduate of Gadsden City High School and the son of Taurus and Towanna Wilson Sr.
The award was presented to Wilson at Gadsden State Community College, with participation by Dr. Leslie Worthington, Dean of Academic Programs and Services.
Wilson will be attending Gadsden State for two years with plans to transfer to a four-year university to complete his degree. His area of concentration is Business/Public Administration.
The coronavirus pandemic prevented the presentation from being made at the organizations annual Freedom Fund Dinner.
