About the Honorable James E. Proctor Jr.

Maryland Delegate Proctor was committed to the state's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), especially his alma mater, Bowie State University. With his support, Bowie State received approximately $200 million in state funding over the course of his tenure in the Maryland legislature. Family and friends of Delegate Proctor established an endowed scholarship in his honor at Bowie State University.
