Human Rights Committee, Missouri Bar
sponsor 2008 poster/essay contest

The Missouri NEA Human Rights Committee and the Missouri Bar Young Lawyers Section sponsored the 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Poster Contest for K-12 students. "Embracing Diversity: Increasing Our Unity through the Teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.” was the theme for the 2008 contest.

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