Students wowed the judges with artwork, poetry and essays submitted to Tri-Town Against Racism’s Black History Month Creative Expression Contest.
A total of 38 students in grades seven through twelve in the Tri-Town submitted work to be judged by Tangi Thomas, the president of the organization, and three community members: Darrin Garcia, Jean DaSilva and Janis Johnson.
Aliyah Jordan, a Tabor student, came in first place for her poem titled “Heroes Unsung.”
“The judges were completely floored by both her poem and her reciting of it,” said Alison Noyce of the organization. “She perfectly embodied the theme of our contest, Beyond Martin and Rosa, by honoring a teenager [named Claudette Colvin] who refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus to a white person nine months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.”

A Board of Selectmen public hearing on Feb. 25 drew comments from residents and selectmen alike on the proposed changes to the street, which intersects with Main and Front Streets, and includes a sharp, narrow 90-degree turn.
While proposed changes to the street wouldn’t affect its width, they would add ‘no parking’ signs and paint to limit the crowding of cars.
