Human Rights Committee sponsors
2009 poster/essay contest

The Missouri NEA Human Rights Committee sponsored the 2009 Martin Luther King Jr. Poster Contest for K-12 students. "Embracing Diversity: Living the Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” was the theme for the 2009 contest.

Winners were chosen at several levels: K–1, 2–3, 4–5, 6–8 and 9–12. U.S. Savings Bonds were awarded to first-place ($100), second-place ($75) and third-place ($50) winners in each of the five categories. Teachers of winning students received gift cards in the amount of $50 (first place), $30 (second place) and $20 (third place).

An MNEA affiliate or school district hosted the initial contest and submited first-, second- and third-place winners in any or all of the five age categories (up to 15 entries per school district).
