Black History Month Essay Contest
In honor of Black History month, AMHS is sponsoring an essay contest saluting the words of Dr. Martin Luther King. The contest is open to all Arabia Mountain High School students. The top three winners will be awarded.
“A social movement that only moves people is merely a revolt. A movement that changes both people and institutions is a revolution.”
― Martin Luther King Jr., Why We Can't Wait, page 107
