I was asked if I would be able to be a guest judge for the Mesquite Boys and Girls Club's annual Oratorical contest in honor of black history month. There were 3 age divisions; 6-9 years old, 10-12 years old, and 13-15 years old. Many of the children recited memorized lines from the likes of Maya Angelou, Langston Hughes, and Nikki Giovanni just to name a few. While many of the children we nervous, I still give them credit for being able to get up in front of a large audience! There were 3 definite stand outs in each age division. They gave great introductions, maintained eye contact, and wonderful vocal projection while remembering each line word for word! At the end of the night I congratulated each contestant, and ate a wonderful spaghetti dinner provided by the club.
