Martin Luther King Jr. to be honored | |
January 4, 2017 | |
The program, “Martin Luther King, Jr. & Nonviolence,” honors Martin Luther King and his vision that “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” will include a slide show by Timothy Braatz, author and university professor of history and nonviolence. There will also be a showing of the film “Mighty Times: The Children’s March,” a display of art projects by Boundary County Middle School students and music. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. The event is sponsored by the Boundary County Human Rights Task Force that was established in 1985 with a mission to increase awareness in our community of human rights according to Idaho law on malicious harassment. The Task Force also offers support and aid to those who may be victims of discrimination or harassment because of race, color, ancestry, religion or national origin. Understanding that it is the right of every person to be secure and protected from fear, intimidation, harassment and physical harm caused by the activities of groups and individuals is the basis of the programs and activities of the Task Force. |
