Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope this email finds you well. As you already may know, the National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) has launched its 2010 contest entitled, "What Does Equality Mean to You?". The contest is geared towards young people aged 14 to 18, asking them to either create a visual image or a written entry illustrating their ideas about equality. This year's contest will be judged by Grammy Award musician Alicia Keys, comedian Margaret Cho, Congressman Keith Ellison, Congressman Greg Meeks, and Ben Jealous of the NAACP. Winners will receive a trip to New York City, a $ 500 dollar cash prize, and an opportunity for national recognition. The contest ends on April 12, 2010.
We urge to distribute information about this contest widely. Attached please find the NCRCR 2010 Contest Toolkit Please feel free to institute this contest in your school, and share it with other educators. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or suggestions at nnagahawatte@nylpi.org or 917.344.0077.
