Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Social Justice Legacy Contest

(Formerly Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Essay Contest)

In connection with the celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the law firm of Warner Norcross + Judd LLP is sponsoring its 16th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Social Justice Legacy Contest (formerly the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Essay Contest). The purpose of the contest, which is open to all sixth grade students within the Grand Rapids Public School District, is to encourage students to think about how Dr. King's legacy of peace and justice applies to the world in which they live.

This year, we are asking students to identify and react to a racial social justice issue that is meaningful to them. Inspiration for the submission can be found in any format: photo, painting, video, song, article, quote, essay, poem, spoken word, book, etc.
