Please accept this letter as confirmation of NAEA’s intent to collaboratewith Karz Productions and THE DREAM AT 50 project as mutually agreed upon and generallyoutlined below. A Cooperative Partner agreement will be drafted in early January outliningspecific activities.Further, we fully applaud and support your focus on the arts as a vehicle for students to deepentheir understanding of the lessons of the Civil Rights Movement within the context of today’sworld. Both the arts and the Civil Rights Movement are about self-discovery, self-expression, selfesteem, and building strong inclusive communities. The expressive power of the arts engagesstudents in meaningful learning and can further Dr. King’s goals in the 21st century through theuniversal language of the arts. NAEA also supports an interdisciplinary approach to the arts asindispensable for accomplishing educational goals as a nation.As a cooperating partner, NAEA will generally promote and publicize the art competition toNAEA members through our website, social networking, e-mail blasts, newsletter, and NationalConvention.

August 4, 2011Mr. Richard KarzKarz Productions323 West 47th Street, 2ANew York, N.Y. 10036Dear Richard,On behalf of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), the leading non-profitmembership organization for English teachers serving more than 40,000 literacy educators, I’dlike to express my enthusiasm and support for THE DREAM AT 50 series of tributes to markthe fiftieth anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech, deliveredin Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963.This is a tremendous opportunity for educators to get their students excited about history andhow it helps to clarify their lives today. I think it’s a great idea to use music, dance, art, andwriting to engage wide student participation, and also appreciate the idea of taking a globalperspective on Dr. King’s speech. The challenges facing this generation of students are, infact, global in scope, and the relevance of Dr. King’s universalism was certainly brought homewith the popular uprisings that we’re now seeing throughout the Middle East and North Africa.Most importantly, Dr. King’s dream, as he himself stated, “is a dream deeply rooted in theAmerican dream,” and what better way to help students understand what this means, what itmeans to be an American, then to explore how students in other countries see themselves andsee us.NCTE will be honored to collaborate with you on all aspects of the project to ensure that thisbecomes an indispensable educational tool for teachers. We will promote and market theproject through our website and other communications media. We will help you create aninternational forum for students to exchange ideas about Dr. King’s speech, and will supportyour efforts to obtain funding for creating educational resource materials to further stimulateavenues of inquiry among students. In addition, our National Gallery of Writing would bepleased to host a special writing gallery for the essay contest.Richard, thank you for thinking of us. We are excited to be working with you again on anothergreat endeavor, and we will do all that we can to support you in making this an unqualifiedsuccess.Best,NCTE Executive Director
