Melanie Levesque receives prestigious Martin Luther King Jr. Award

On Jan 19, Melanie4NH Levesque, former state senator of NH and a longtime member of the Greater Nashua Area NAACP, was awarded the prestigious Martin Luther King Jr. prize. For over 40 years, the New Hampshire MLK Jr. Coalition (see link in comments) has presented this award to a NH resident who carries on work for social justice in the spirit of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

All of the MLK Jr. Coalition Member Organizations are given the opportunity to nominate an individual whom they feel is worthy of the recognition that the MLK Jr. award represents, for the manner in which he or she has pursued the turning of Dr. King's Dream of liberty and justice for all, into a reality. In 2011 this honor was awarded to the Hon. Linda Harriott-Gathright, the current president of the Greater Nashua NAACP.

Statement from the Greater Nashua Area Branch of the NAACP, condemning the comments of State Representative Kristin Noble

For Immediate Release
Date: January 16, 2026

The Greater Nashua Area Branch of the NAACP strongly condemns NH State Representative Kristin Noble’s comments related to a desire for segregated schools in the State of New Hampshire. It is beyond unfortunate and concerning that an elected official in the State of New Hampshire can be so ill informed, let alone hold a leadership position in the State House related to the Education Policy of our great State. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” Unfortunately, the comments of Representative Noble demonstrate neither.

As we ready for the celebration of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday in New Hampshire and around the nation, let us all commit to stand up, call out, and reject those who seek to divide us whether by race or alleged “politics”. As Dr. King said, “We may have all come on different ships, but we are all in the same boat now.”

The Greater Nashua Area Branch NAACP in New Hampshire looks forward to continuing its work with all of New Hampshire’s communities, and the comments of Representative Noble certainly demonstrate there is a lot of necessary and important work to be done, “Together”.

ABOUT THE NAACP: Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the oldest Civil Rights organization in the United States. The NAACP is a non-partisan and multi-racial organization whose Mission is to “Ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of rights of ALL persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination.”

In Solidarity with Many!
