On Wednesday, April 26th, the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage honors 6-12th graders who have expressed their commitment to creating a more accepting, inclusive society through its annual Stop the Hate® competition. The public is invited to attend the Stop the Hate® Awards Ceremony to hear students share their inspiring essays and original songs and find out who wins $100,000 in anti-bias awards and scholarships.

Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) April 17, 2017

“I am more than the color of my skin.” “Gender rules don’t matter.” “Self-hate is just as dangerous as any other.” "Where you're from shouldn’t change how people treat you.” Nearly 3,300 Northeast Ohio 6-12th graders recently submitted these and other reflections on intolerance as part of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage annual Stop the Hate® Youth Speak Out competition. Each student shared his or her experiences and ideas for effecting positive change in a 500-word essay. “It’s not just about students recognizing and evaluating instances of discrimination in their own lives,” explains Jeffery Allen, Maltz Museum Director of Education. “We encourage them to recognize they have agency and a voice. We want them to see the role they can play in creating a more inclusive future.”

After 440 volunteer readers blind scored the essays, 25 finalists representing 22 different schools emerged. These upstanders are now in the running to win a portion of $100,000 in scholarships and anti-bias awards. Winners will be announced at the Stop the Hate® Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, April 26 at 6pm at the Milton and Tamar Maltz Performing Arts Center at The Temple-Tifereth Israel (Case Western Reserve University, 1855 Ansel Road, Cleveland, OH 44106). The public is invited to celebrate this next generation of leaders and to hear the top ten (10) juniors and seniors read their essays for the audience and a panel of community judges. The Awards Ceremony is being hosted by Lori Stokes, the award-winning TV journalist and daughter of former United States Congressman Louis Stokes.

The 2017 Stop the Hate® Youth Speak Out Grand Prize scholarship finalists are:

Brian Amusat, Shaker Heights High School, Grade 12 (Shaker Heights, OH)
Tionna Cisco, Brush High School, Grade 11 (Lyndhurst, OH)
Aurora Fleming, Bay Village High School, Grade 11 (Bay Village, OH)

Courtney Reed, Hawken School, Grade 11 (Gates Mills, OH)

In confronting the pain that hate and intolerance causes, students from all grade levels overwhelmingly share a belief that efforts they make to educate others and create connections can yield positive results. “In America lately discrimination and hatred have been dividing us,” Hana Samad wrote in response to learning her essay was in the top three for her grade level. “If a 13-year-old girl's voice helps heal the rift, at least I can say I did something to help.”

Those sentiments are echoed in the original Stop the Hate®: Youth Sing Out songs being performed by students from Shaw High School, Midview High School and Newton D. Baker School of Arts, as well as appearances by the Horizon Science Academy's US Army JROTC Color Guard and the Student Group on Race Relations (SGORR), Shaker Heights High School.

Stop the Hate®: Youth Speak Out is presented by the Maltz Museum with the support of Dealer Tire, Dominion Resources and Nordson Corporation Foundation. Youth Sing Out is possible through the partnership of Roots of American Music and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the generosity of The Abington Foundation, The Bruening Foundation, Martha Holden Jennings Foundation and The Nord Family Foundation.

Phoenix Marketcity Presents Wingardiom Leviosa and MotherRoot 

*Event:* Phoenix Marketcity presents Wingardiom Leviosa and MotherRoot (Bands)
*Event Dates:* 21^st & 23^rd April 2017 (Friday & Sunday)
*Venue:* Concert Lane (Courtyard), Phoenix Marketcity
*Timings:* 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
*Entry:* Open For All

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Band Name - Wingardiom Leviosa*

*Performance Date - 21^st** Friday*

It is a 4 piece band, including *Jitesh, Nachiket, Pranav and Trishna Shenai*. They are an indie group. Their taste in music is been very independent of each other. The members met in Hubli, a small town in Karnataka, where most musicians knew each other. Emerging from different musical backgrounds, each had their own interests, aspirations and academics to deal with.

  
*Wingardiom Leviosa*

 

Having performed together in and around Hubli, Belgaum, Bangalore and across projects for over four years with different artists, they decided to get together and create some music, which would be a unique concinnity of their varied styles and influences. It is an amalgamation of Jake’s Indie-grunge roots layered and syncopated with classic – modern drumming style and blend of Hindustani and post-modernistic vocal melodies and harmonies. Clubbed with MIDI samples and effects. They aim to create an experimental aura for the listeners. Though there are many artists that have inspired them to do their thing. To a list a few, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Districts, Opeth, The Paper Kites, Aurora, The Beatles, Dire Straits, Chet Faker, James Blunt and Maroon 5.

 

*Band Name - Mother Root*

*Performance Date- 23^rd** Sunday*

Straight up rock n roll intoxicants with shots of punk-ey, dance-ey stuff that make it a great wingding (also known as party)! MotherRoot shoots straight; the riffs, the hooks, the sing-along chorus lines... this is adrenaline rock that never touches the noise barrier. *Kri* (guitars) says "You've got to have simple, hooky, sing-along tunes if you want to take the audience with you. It's really that simple.”

  
**Mother Root**

 

MotherRoot's earliest inspiration came from The Beatles, The Stones, Deep Purple, The Who, CCR, The Kinks, Bowie, Queen and a whole generation of bands from the great Sixties. Later, it was The Ramones, Joy Division, Radiohead, Nirvana... Nipun (Bass) adds "It's like whiskey and wine. The older it gets, the better it tastes. But there's a whole lot of great music out there - old and new - that we like, and some that we love. And all this inspiration kind of brews into our sound. There’s music we love, and there’s music we want to play, and at the center of it is the rhythm; and that driving rhythm is really what defines our sound.” says *Sushant (Guitar and Vocals)*.

 

A non-stop 90 minute set or a 120 minute set with short breaks. A solid body of originals that are mangled into this fast, energetic, hit and run set is their specialty.

 

*Band Members*

Austyn Goveas (Vocals)

Krithika Manohar (Guitars)

Nipun Ashba Narayan (Bass Guitar and Vocals)

Sushant Chandra (Lead Guitars and Vocals)
