Orlando Appearances

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. Dr. Martin Luther King

Please join me April 24, 2010 at 6:00 pm at New Covenant Baptist Church in Orlando, FL for the 2010 Orange County Branch NAACP ACT-SO Awards Ceremony and Talent Showcase. ACT-SO is a yearlong enrichment program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among African-American high school students. Students from the central Florida area will compete in 26 categories of competition in the sciences, humanities, business, performing arts and visual arts. The results from the competition will be shared and medalists declared at the 2010 Local ACT-SO Awards Ceremony. I will bring a few words of encouragement to our future brain trust of tomorrow and talk a bit about "It was never about a hot dog and a Coke!"

The week before...on April 17, 2010 ... I will join a number of authors appearing at the University of Central Florida (UCF) (Orlando, FL) Inaugural Book Festival in the UCF's Arena. I will review my book and read a few passages from the book. I look forward to seeing you in Orlando.

The Struggle Continues...
