Oratorical Contest on Reimagining Community: Deadline To Register April 18

I just wanted to share an event with you that I am leading. My chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.- Iota Delta Lambda is hosting an Oratorical Contest. We originally planned to have this event at CCICS (Bronzeville Campus) pre-COVID but it is a great opportunity for high school and college students who are interested in writing speeches and spoken word pieces. If you know someone who might be interested, please forward the flyer, guidelines, and registration info to them.
