The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Commission (MLK Commission) was established in 1993 for the purposes of celebrating Dr. King’s birthday and promoting the acceptance of diversity. The commission is part of the City of Bloomington Community and Family Resources Department, which was created in 1983 as the Human Resources Department and renamed in 1997. The mission of the department is to serve as a resource to individuals, families and organizations in the Bloomington community. It coordinates services, programs and activities that promote an enhanced quality of life and help build a strong, vital community.
