DALLAS – In honor of Black History Month, the Dallas Mavericks and BNSF Railway, in association with American Airlines, are excited to announce our 11th annual Black History Month Challenge which offers DFW Metroplex students the chance to win the field trip of a lifetime. The contest wraps up this Friday, February 22nd.
To commemorate February as Black History Month, students are asked to submit an essay around the topic “Advancing ‘The Dream’: How We Can Take Collective Actions to Create Meaningful Change in Our Communities” for a chance to win a trip to Atlanta, GA to visit the birth place of Dr. King, the King Center, and other historic civil rights and black history sites.
The contest is open to 8th through 12th grade students within a 75 mile radius of the American Airlines Center. Five (5) winners, along with one (1) parent/legal guardian for each winner, and adult chaperones from the Dallas Mavericks will fly to Atlanta, GA on Friday, March 22, 2018 for an exciting three (3) day/two (2) night educational experience in black history.
