The Ohio Civil Rights Commission is excited to announce the winners of our 2020 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Art, Essay, and Multimedia Contest! The 2020 theme was "Standing for What Matters."
On March 8, 1965, the day after “Bloody Sunday,” on which civil rights protestors were attacked and beaten by police on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, Dr. King said:
"A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”
His words remind us that our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter and doing what is right may not be the easiest choice, but if justice is to prevail, difficult choices must be taken. Dr. King was a leader because he spoke out when others were resigned to silence.
Students were asked to think about times in their lives when they spoke out against an injustice. What impact did it leave on them and your community?
When have you had or will you have the courage to speak out for something that truly matters?
