Salome Thomas- El

Salome Thomas-EL was born and raised in the inner city of Philadelphia and has been a teacher in the Philadelphia School District since 1987. He received national acclaim as a teacher and chess coach at Vaux Middle School, where his students have gone on to win world recognition as Eight-Time National Chess Champions. Armed with only a chess board and a profound belief in their potential, Thomas-EL’s faith and commitment has motivated hundreds of children in Philadelphia to attend magnet high schools, major colleges and universities. Salome Thomas-EL is a graduate of East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. He is currently a doctoral candidate and has studied in Cambridge and London, England. He has received the Marcus A. Foster Award as the outstanding School District Administrator in Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania’s distinguished, Martin Luther King Award. Philadelphia Magazine honored Salome Thomas-EL as the 2006 “Best Philadelphian”. Mr. Thomas-EL frequently appears on C-SPAN, CNN and NPR Radio. Salome Thomas-EL is married and lives in Philadelphia with his wife and two young daughters. He is the former Principal of John F. Reynolds Elementary School in North Philadelphia and the author of the best-selling book, “I Choose to Stay”. The Walt Disney Company recently purchased the movie rights to “I Choose to Stay”. His second book, “The Immortality of Influence” (foreword written by actor Will Smith), was released in May 2006 and stresses the importance of leadership, parenting, mentoring and service to others. Currently, Thomas-EL is principal at the Russell Byers Public Charter School in Philadelphia and coordinates after-school chess programs in the School District. Mr. Thomas-EL has continued his life-inspiring chess and tutoring programs at Vaux and Reynolds. As part of his commitment to opening the world up to show his students that there are other ways to be than those to which they have been exposed, Thomas-EL takes them to visit colleges and then attends their graduations. Reflecting on how it feels to see a young person he has mentored walk down the aisle toward a real future instead of to an early grave, Thomas-EL has said: “I’ve been to too many funerals; I need to go to more graduations.”

Ruben Kihen

Nevada state assemblyman Ruben Kihuen, a 27-year-old Mexican immigrant, is barely known outside his Las Vegas district. But he is being hotly pursued by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and the other contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Mr. Obama summoned him for a tête-à-tête in his hotel suite at Caesars Palace. Christopher Dodd asked him to play a round of golf. Bill Richardson and John Edwards have sought his endorsement, too.
