MLK essays

It’s not too late to submit an essay to the Indiana Association of School Principals 2023 Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest.

Sixth graders through high school seniors may participate by writing essays based on the following quote from Martin Luther King Jr.:

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies.”
