NORWALK, Conn. — Norwalk’s 2021 Martin Luther King essay contest winners have been announced. 139 students submitted essays discussing topics set forth by the Norwalk Public Library management team: educational equity, environmental equity, and racial justice equity.
“Congratulations to all of the students who took the time to submit an essay,” Norwalk Public Library Interim Director Sherelle Harris said. “I was a little worried that the pandemic might prevent this, but everyone pulled to make it happen.”
“I appreciate the efforts of all those who entered the 2021 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest and to the NAACP and numerous volunteers who helped organize the contest and score the submissions,” Mayor Harry Rilling said. “Our students are the future leaders in Norwalk and around the globe. They will help bring real change to this world. Congratulations to the nine winners of this year’s essay contest. I encourage everyone to find time to read the impactful words written by our students.”

An essay contest based upon Dr. Martin Luther King’s teachings is open to all Norwalk Public School students, according to a press release. Three cash prizes will be awarded, courtesy of Norwalk Branch NAACP: 1st place $100, 2nd place $50, and 3rd place $25. The essays should discuss one or more of these three forms of equity: educational equity, environmental equity, and racial justice equity.

“Dr. King’s legacy continues to be felt in Connecticut, the United States, and around the Globe,” Mayor Harry Rilling said. “I encourage all Norwalk students to submit an essay, and while there can only be a few winners, I hope all in our community will read their important words. These are our future leaders who will help ensure that one day we will fulfill Dr. King’s vision.”
