As the new chair of the MLK School Program, I would like to share with you the forms and information about this year's Scholarship contest and Arts, Poetry, and Prose contest and invite your youths' participation. As with previous years, the Scholarship contest is available to high school seniors currently attending a school in the greater Dayton area. Details are in the form attached to this email. The Arts, Poetry, and Prose contest is open to all K-12 students in the greater Dayton area. The deadline for both programs is December 1, 2017.
This year, for the Arts, Poetry, and Prose contest, we are also offering an option for students to submit their art in the form of a video. This could be a video of a performance of a song, rap, dance, etc. If the art form is non-verbal, please also write a short explanation about what is being represented by the piece. Also, we will not be editing the pieces after they are submitted, so any editing support should be done by the teacher or adult who is supporting the student. We would like to honor the integrity of the art that our students are creating in their original form.
We are still confirming a physical location to send entries, but in the meantime, electronic copies can be sent to darsheel.sehbi@daytonohio.gov with the subject "MLK APP submission" or "MLK Scholarship submission" respectively.

Subject: FW: My Feeling About the Current Travesty In Society!
To God’s People,
With the continuous and what I feel is a conspiracy against African Americans in this society, I question how the mindsets are with our law enforcement officers, with the continuous atrocities against African Americans and those of “color”? The recent video last week that went viral and took place in Euclid, Ohio, substantiates that these incidents continue to happen. And these are just the ones that get caught on video! We all know that there is a “brotherhood” among law enforcement in our country and within this brotherhood, for those to stand against these “incidents”, the fear of being ostracized and branded has to be a condition of this culture. How is this impacting our City of Dayton Police Officers? They are human and are a part of this hypocrisy! First, I speak of there being a conspiracy in our society and it is substantiated by the blatant twisting of the protest of some NFL players who choose to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem! Kneeling is the ultimate paying of homage to God, of respect and worship. Look at how “they” have twisted this to being disrespect! Just like they twisted it when John Carlos and Tommie Smith with bowed heads and raised black gloved fist, with the playing of the American National Anthem at the 1968 Olympics. Again, they paid homage to America! But look at what they did to the two African American Brothers who clearly won their events and represented the United States of America in doing so! And then Cam Newton for what he has done for the NFL team he plays for and the NFL, a multi-billion dollar a year business, because he said, “that’s funny hearing a female talk about pass routes”. How can this be misconstrued as being disrespectful to all women? The reporter WAS a female! I am not used to female sports commentators either. Has the acceptance and condoning of gay/lesbian culture gotten to the point that we can longer acknowledge women as women and men as men? Now, society is also denying African Americans freedom of speech! Pure evil!
