The City of Chattanooga Department of Education, Arts & Culture (EAC) presents "A Diversity Thanksgiving Celebration" on Saturday, November 10 from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. at EAC's Heritage House Arts & Civic Center. The Free & Public celebration features live performances and videos from the Youth Multicultural Video Contest of the American Diversity Report (ADR).
Performances include poetry by Darius Myrick, a winner of the Black Ink/NAACP Contest; Jewish songs by Rhonda Seeber; and music from members of the Chattanooga Songwriters Association: classical guitarist Harah Paper, Thom Cavin, and Charlie Yates of The Y&C Experience. Local original art by the artists of Reflections Gallery will also be on exhibit.
Deborah Levine, President of the ADR and coordinator of the Video Contest encourages the community to attend and enjoy the videos, "The heart and art demonstrated by our youth is inspirational. They teach us about Giving Thanks by Giving Back. Congratulations to the students of Tyner Academy directed by James Colbert and to the students of Dr. Kay Andrews and the Communications Department at UTC."
Contest judge, actress Kim Wayans, shared her enthusiasm for the videos, "I really enjoyed the video presentations. Great work!" Wayans encouraged both the college and high school students who participated. "Heroes are so important because they inspire us to strive to be better people, and to give back to the world in some meaningful way."
EAC Administrator Missy Crutchfield said, "We are honored to partner on the Diversity Thanksgiving Celebration at Heritage House this year, and we are especially pleased to celebrate the work of our young filmmakers in the greater Chattanooga area." A High School Excellence Award will be presented to Tyner Academy, sponsored by UTC.
