WASHINGTON, DC, April 25, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The AAWRC empowers inspires, and supports the growth and development of girls. In Honor of Dr. Dorothy Height, On May 31st the AAWRC will host the We Are the Ones! Oratory Contest. Deadline for application is May 1st.

The We Are the Ones! Oratory Contest is being held in honor of Dr. Dorothy Height, prize-winning orator and grande dame of the civil rights movement and Educator Septima Clark, civil rights activist and considered by some as the "grandmother" of the city rights movement.

The We Are the Ones! Oratory Contest is an important tool for helping to improve a girl's ability to research and analyze problems, think and listen critically, express thoughts clearly and fluently, and better understand community and world affairs. In today's complex and global community, girls of the African Diaspora, in particular, need additional resources for enhancing awareness of themselves and the communities in which they live, striving for excellence, and empowering them to take a more active role in changing the dynamics that lead to wasted lives and blighted communities.

Applications are now being accepted for teenage girls in schools and after-school programs. There are a number of learning opportunities and three cash prize levels.
