The Iowa Commission on the Status of African Americans is seeking nominations for two awards that honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The MLK Achievement Award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to King’s vision, helping others, cultural awareness, diversity, active community participation and promoting racial equality of all people in Iowa. The MLK Service Project recognizes individuals or organizations who have participated in a service project that has strengthened their community. The commission will present the awards virtually at the 34th annual Celebration of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Jan. 16. Nomination forms must be postmarked by Dec. 10.
