MLK Human Rights Community Breakfast returns in person Saturday

After two years of virtual meetings, the Martin Luther King Human Rights Community Breakfast will return in person — an important part of activism for many community members of Latah County.

“It’s not just a ‘talk,’ ” said Joann Muneta, chairperson of the board of directors of the Latah County Human Rights Task Force. “This is a chance to actually do something and to meet new people.”

The 29th annual community breakfast will take place from 9:30-11 a.m. Saturday at the Moscow Middle School, with a continental breakfast, lively music and keynote speaker Scott Finnie. They will also present the Rosa Parks Human Rights Achievements Awards at the event.

“Moscow is a small community,” Muneta said. “What you do matters.”

The event will have a limit of 100 people in person and it will also be a livestream via Zoom. There is no cost to attend, and any donations the group receive will go toward programs that support human rights and diversity in the community, as stated on its website.

“We hope to get people of all ages to join together, like university students, business people, different guest speakers,” Muneta said. “Community is the key element to keeping us together.”
