Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the 2015 Inspirational Messages of Peace Contest. This year, 2,267 students from around the world including countries such as Mexico, China, India, and Gaza were invited to write messages of peace that reflected the ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ms. Coretta Scott King. Students were asked to reflect on these ideas in a 35 words or less poem about peace.
