2023 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Art Contest
To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and raise awareness about his accomplishments, the City of Bowie Diversity Committee sponsored the annual art contest for Bowie students.
The theme for the 2023 contest was "From Dream to Reality". This theme encouraged students to reflect upon Dr. King’s life, philosophy, and impact on the Civil Rights movement and present day America. It challenged students to think about how civil rights and diversity affects their lives and how they can continue the dream of Dr. King in their own way.
