Title

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

Body

In celebration of Dr. King’s birthday, the Brookings Human Rights Commission sponsored 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. However, any student was encouraged to write on any aspect of Black History should they choose, designed so students can better envelop themselves into the greater history of America.  This year’s theme was: “There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right.”

Mayor Keith Corbett will present the awards.
