MLK Commission seeks nominations

The City's Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission is seeking nominations for the 2009 Martin Luther King, Jr. Distinguished Achievement Award.

The award honors a resident of Bexar County whose record of personal achievement in the community reflects a strong commitment to human rights, education and economic well-being for all. Any individual  that reflects these qualities and is 21 or older may be nominated. To obtain a nomination form, visit www.sanantonio.gov/mlk. Nomination forms must be postmarked by December 31, 2008.

Each year, a variety of educational, inspirational and celebratory events honor one of the nation's most revered civil rights leaders. The signature event, the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. March, is scheduled for Monday, January 19, 2009. Once again, it is expected to draw more than 100,000 adults and children. San Antonio hosts the largest march in the United States.
