The Ohio Civil Rights Commission celebrates the winners of our 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Art, Essay, and Multimedia Contest! The 2021 theme was "Keep Moving."
During the civil rights struggles of the 1960's, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a leading voice against social injustices. The fight he led against racism and bigotry had many setbacks along the way, though. Dr. King understood that resilience and persistence would be necessary to achieve the goals of the Civil Rights Movement. Despite this trouble, Dr. King never strayed from his mission and he continued to speak out against injustice. In a speech at Spelman College on April 10, 1960, Dr. King said:
"If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.”
Students were asked: 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?
