ALPENA Two Alpena students have won the Martin Luther King Jr. Day essay contests sponsored by the MLK Jr. Committee of Alpena.
In the junior high contest, Aiden Gagnon garnered the top spot for his essay focusing on homelessness.
In the high school contest, Madison Szymanski won for her essay, which will be included in an upcoming edition of The News.
According to MLK Jr. Committee Member Sonya Titus, the essay contest centered around the question, “How do you envision Alpena becoming a more beloved community?”
Martin Luther King Jr. frequently used the term “beloved community” when referring to how the world could be if everyone had equal rights and peace and justice prevailed.
