HRC Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday Event

In honor of the Martin Luther King, Jr holiday Jan 20, the Golden Valley Human Rights Commission (HRC) is partnering with Spirit of Hope Church to host a live televised viewing of “Reimagine the Future” with keynote speaker Donna Brazile.

Each year the General Mills Foundation and United Negro College Fund celebrate Dr King’s legacy of service by sponsoring a breakfast and inspirational speaker on the holiday that honors him. This year’s event, the 24th annual, will be at the Minneapolis Convention Center. Because the event sells out every year and tickets are difficult to come by, the Golden Valley HRC planned a way for people to participate locally.

The live televised viewing event will be held Jan 20 in Golden Valley at Spirit of Hope Church, 7600 Harold Ave. It begins with a continental breakfast in the Fireside Room at 7:30 am, followed by the televised program at 8 am. There is no cost to attend.

The HRC’s Martin Luther King, Jr holiday event is part of the “HRC Conversations” program, which works to build awareness and facilitate dialogue within the community about human rights and social justice issues.
