Young Dalton Sherman is on a roll. After winning the the 16th annual Gardere Martin Luther King Jr. Oratory Competition with a speech about community involvement that ended with the closing line: "...a drum major with no band is just a

fool dancing on the football field," the Charles Rice Learning Center fifth-grader has already appeared on the front page of the Dallas Morning News and served as the warm-up speaker for Maya Angelou. His YouTube video has been seen more than 150,000 times, and he was tapped to give an inspirational speech for teachers and administrators at the Dallas school district's start-of-school pep rally at the American Airlines Center a few weeks ago. Now Dalton is set to appear on the Ellen Show this Thursday.
