Next month’s institute will be held virtually and be available to students in 5th through 12th grade. Chicago Debates hopes to add at least 1,000 students in the next five years, with many of them coming from the West and South sides.
Shakari White will be representing the West Side at the 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 27 event at the Dusable Museum of African-American History. Tickets are still available.
The event, with teens from all over the city, runs through the second week of March, with Austin’s West Side Warriors competing again Friday at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Find out which Austin students participated in the 5th annual Prevention Bowl, held last week at U.S. Cellular Field.
