Mayor Dyer and Commissioner Hill Paint Mural with Youth Humanitarians

WHAT: 
Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer will join District 5 City Commissioner Regina I. Hill, Mayor’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, the Mayor’s Youth Humanitarians and local artist Danny Rock to paint the finishing touches on a new mural located in Downtown Orlando that will celebrate unity, inclusion, and equality. 

Each year the MLK Jr. Commission partners with Orange County Public Schools to showcase students who exemplify the ideals embraced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., through their character, service and leadership, named the Mayor’s Youth Humanitarians. This year, 25 students were selected and took on a project with local artist Danny Rock to share ideas and values they wanted through the creation of public art, a new mural painted in Downtown Orlando. 

The Commission is a volunteer organization including business and community representatives appointed by Mayor Dyer to facilitate and coordinate activities that promote the celebration of Dr. King’s legacy of service, equality, justice, freedom, peace and harmony for all races and cultures in Greater Orlando.
