Each year, Clinton’s “Living Peace 365” MLK, Jr. Celebration Committee awards the Peace and Justice Award to an individual or organization whose work in the community honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy of non-violence, equality, justice and peace. This will be the 22nd year that the MLK Peace and Justice Award will be awarded in our community.

​

Clinton’s MLK Committee encourages residents, or a group with which they may be affiliated, to nominate someone they feel is deserving of this award. Perhaps it’s someone who works behind the scenes or someone who is quite visible lending support for special activities, working politically or serving as an example in his or her everyday life.

​

Those wishing to nominate either an individual or an organization for the MLK Peace and Justice Award may download a Peace and Justice Award nomination form above or below or contact the Living Peace 365 Facebook page. Online nominations can be submitted at https://bit.ly/MLKawardnomination.

 

Nomination forms and a letter of support (from another individual) must be submitted by Friday, November 8, 2024. Nomination forms may be submitted to Carene Helms via email to clhelms@eicc.edu or via USPS c/o Clinton Community College, 1000 Lincoln Blvd, Clinton, Iowa 52732.​
