March 8th is a big day for both the city and the Los Angeles County.

It’s Election Day.

To select the top candidates for the City Council and the Board of Education, some voters are in a frenzy. On the ballot this time around is a position rarely talked about—Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees.

Currently, the board consists of no African Americans, but Black student enrollment for the district in 2009 is at 15.8 percent.

Five California students—including three from the Los Angeles area—have been selected to attend the 2011 Disney’s Dreamers Academy, and beginning March 3 they will have the opportunity to go to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla., and participate in series of a unique workshops on subjects including entertainment, entrepreneurship, the culinary arts and creative inspiration from Walt Disney Imagineering.
