Cuyahoga County 4-H member Chloe Millard has been awarded the 2021 MLK Essay Contest award for 12th grade.  Chloe responded to the following essay questions:  When you were faced with a challenge or setback, what did you do? Did it bring out the best or the worst in you? How did you keep moving forward?

Each year the Ohio Civil Rights Commission holds their annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Art, Writing and Multimedia Contest.  This contest is intended to encourage students to reflect upon Dr. King’s life, philosophy and impact on the Civil Rights movement and present day America.  It is meant to challenge students to think about how civil rights and diversity affect their lives and how they can continue the work of Dr. King in their own way.
