20080110 Annual Carroll Co. NAACP Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Writing Contest

Annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Writing Contest

Posted January 10th, 2008

In the past, in my capacity as a (former) elected official and a member of the Carroll County NAACP, I have helped judge this contest. I have always been impressed with the quality of the writing and inspired by our youngest generation’s thoughts.
