2007 Making A Difference Contest
We want to hear from everyone who makes or has made a difference towards our fight for racial justice. If your actions have changed the mind of a skeptic, or pursued change then we want to hear about it. Your everyday actions could make a world of difference. If you don’t think so, look at what Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. have done for us. Changing lives matters.
Simply, tell us in 500 words of less, how you have made a positive difference in our fight for racial justice. We will not be judging you solely on your writing ability. You will be judged on the content of your true difference making efforts. We will award the top 3 entries with cold hard cash.
Entries will be accepted from April 1, 2007 – September 1, 2007
(All entries must be postmarked by 9/1/07)
The winners will be notified by December 1, 2007
