The theme of the Martin Luther King Essay contest this year is “Our Lives Begin the end the Day We Become Silent About Things That Matter.” Some of the things that weighed on King’s mind were issues that continue to be in the world today.
He adds that the children of today will be faced with solving the modern dilemmas. The essay contest is open to all students in Franklin County elementary and secondary school. For a detailed list of essay rules, check out the KOFO Facebook page.
