Presented by the Olathe’s Human Relations Commission (OHRC), in partnership with Olathe Public Schools, MidAmerica Nazarene University, and the Olathe Public Library, Olathe’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration has grown to become one of OHRC’s most acclaimed events. The Celebration provides a platform where Olatheans of all ages can appreciate community efforts to quell bullying, discrimination, and mistreatment of others based on race, gender, or religious beliefs. More than 4,600 local students participated in writing, visual arts, and multi-media contests related to this event. Winners will be announced and awarded monetary prizes at the event.
