Write a concise feature that frames Ridgefield’s 30th Annual MLK Day celebration as both a historical milestone and a current civic event by foregrounding Harvey Fierstein’s Spirit of Dr. King Award. Weave in Fierstein’s community contributions and Ridgefield ties, while highlighting the arts-and-service collaboration of local organizations (ROUND, The Ridgefield Playhouse, A.C.T. of Connecticut, etc.). Use a clear arc: the event’s evolution, its free-access policy, and what the award signifies for the town’s ongoing dialogue on civil rights. Include at least one compelling quote and one vivid description of a planned performance or moment from the program. Conclude with a forward-looking note on how this tradition energizes future community service.
