The 2010 Peace Essay Contest:
Living in a World of Diversity:
We live in a nation of many cultures, religions, ethnic groups and
skin colors. How can we build respect and understanding among Americans of so many different backgrounds? What can we
do when there are divisions between groups? Think about what
you can do individually. And think about what we can do as a
community and a country.
Cash prizes awarded in 4 grade divisions.
