Title

Presentation:  Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Awards by the Brookings Human Rights Commission.

Body

In celebration of Dr. King’s birthday, the Brookings Human Rights Commission sponsored a poster contest for K-1^st grade, 2^nd-3^rd grade, 4^th-5^th grade and Advance, along with an essay contest for middle school and high school students to help students reflect on Dr. King’s ideas and their effect on our community through their contest entry. This year’s poster theme was: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”  This year’s essay theme was “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

Mayor Ope Niemeyer will present the awards.
