[SOA] SOA Ohio History Day awards

[Christine Engels]

I was honored to be a part of the Ohio History Day finals on April 29, held at the Ohio Union at OSU. Each year SOA hands out two awards to students whose project demonstrates exceptional research and use of primary sources to include at least two of the following: letters, speeches, diaries, newspaper articles from the time, oral history interviews, documents, photographs, artifacts, or anything else that provides a first-hand account about a person or event. These sources must all be cited accurately in their bibliography and they also must physically go to at least one research institution that houses the sources they used.

The SOA Awards were presented to Kirstin Burnette and Jayla Wolford, from south Gallia Junior High School,  for their exhibit "If Not Us, Then Who? If Not Now, Then When?" The Revolution, reaction, and Reform of the 1961 Freedom Rides."
The other prize was awarded to Anna Katz and Emily Maury, from Shaker Heights High School, for their exhibit, "Salt in the Wound: Testing Allegiance to a Coercive Government."

I'd like to thank Janet Carlton, Laurie Gimmel, Charlie Arp and George Bain for assisting with the judging for the SOA awards.

Congratulations to the winners!
