Young Dallas orator meets Oprah


Dalton Sherman, the fifth grader from Dallas’s Charles Rice Learning Center, accepted an invitation to speak to a national audience through Oprah Winfrey’s television program, yesterday.

It was much the same speech he gave to Dallas teachers in August, edited for a broader audience.  Did you see it?  What did you think?

Did we mention earlier that his mother is a teacher in Dallas Independent School District?

Texas A&M sent a recruiting letter — he’s just seven years from graduation.  He said he thinks he can be the next Obama.  So that begins.  Good.
