The Ohio Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commission was established to recognize Dr. King's significance as a civil rights leader and to honor Ohioans who work to promote diversity and eliminate discrimination through nonviolent methods. Each year, the Commission presents awards to Ohioans to celebrate the life of Dr. King, whose teachings encourage nonviolent actions to secure equal rights for all Americans.
As part of the celebration, Ohio students who won their age group at the 2009 statewide oratorical contest will present their speeches.
Honorees:
- Heidi Yoakum, Cultural Awareness Award
- Daniel C. Moss, Educational Excellence Award
- Vineyard Columbus, Social Justice Award
- Reggie Robinson, Governor's Humanitarian Award
