Bolt and member of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Planning Committee; and Clavertis Miller, member, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Planning Committee help judge the annual Julianna V.

Entries were received from 26 students representing Pocono Mountain High School East, Pocono Mountain High School West, and Stroudsburg High School. Winners will be recognized during the 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration on Monday, January 17, 2021.

This year’s event will be held virtually. Registration for the virtual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration is now available and donations are being accepted.

In 1904, Ms. Boddie was the first African-American student to graduate from what was then known as East Stroudsburg State Normal School and ultimately became East Stroudsburg University in 1983. Register today by visiting esu.edu/mlk.
