Twenty-six 11th- and 12th-grade students from 13 states participated in the contest on the Thursday of the lectureship, all previous speech contest winners at one of the 10 Lads to Leaders conventions sites across the U.S.
Lads to Leaders speakers pose with civil rights lawyer Fred Gray, Faulkner President Mitch Henry and Rhonda Zorn Fernandez, daughter of late L2L founder Jack Zorn.
Two winners, one boy and one girl, were chosen to receive full scholarships to Faulkner: Levi Cullum, a member of the Concord Road Church of Christ in Brentwood, Tenn., won for his speech on rebuilding American evangelism. Anna Grace King, a member of the Huntingdon Church of Christ in Tennessee, won for her speech on being strong in faith.
The speakers also got to meet renowned civil rights lawyer and Church of Christ elder Fred Gray, who spoke on “Love One Another” at the lectureship.
