  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, on May 17, 2004, the Library of Congress 
will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark 
decision, Brown v. Board of Education. This celebration will include an 
exhibit as well as a panel discussion on school integration. In 
conjunction with this celebration the Library's Leadership Development 
Program class of 2003-2004 sponsored a poster contest in the District 
of Columbia Public Schools. Children in three grade categories, grades 
3-4, 5-6, and 7-8, were asked to submit posters which expressed the 
theme, ``How has the case changed our schools?'' The three winners of 
the poster contest are: Maria Oliva, age 9, Shepherd Elementary School, 
Teacher: Dee Dee Chambliss; Canaisha Vaughn, age 11, Hamilton Center, 
Teacher: Leslie Milofsky; and Nathan Johnson, age 13, Kramer Middle 
School, Teacher: Mary Jackson.
  Congratulations to these three winners and to all students who 
participated in celebrating the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of 
Education.
