Here are links to the awards presented by the Martin Luther King Coalition:
The Martin Luther King Award is presented to a New Hampshire resident who carries on work for social justice in the spirit of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Lionel Washington Johnson Youth Award is presented to students in Grades 5, 6, 7, & 8 (including those home-schooled) throughout the state, to demonstrate an understanding of Dr. King’s principles regarding a particular theme based on the words of Martin Luther King chosen from one of his many moving speeches.
The Vanessa Washington-Johnson Bloemen Award was given in 2012 by the MLK Coalition to honor our late, lamented Program Director, Vanessa Washington-Johnson Bloemen, who kept the Martin Luther King Coalition operating effectively and efficiently for years. In her spirit, this award is being given to a young person who has shown the qualities of outstanding leadership, commitment to Dr. King’s principles of practicing social justice and seeking peace.
