2022 Education Awards

Each year, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Westside Coalition invites schools, churches, and youth groups to encourage their college freshmen and high school seniors to submit an essay, poem, or other creative work that exemplifies one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's “Six Principles of Nonviolence." The awards are supported by endowments established in memory of local community activists and managed by the Santa Monica College Foundation. Click here to read about 2022's winners.
