Latah County Human Rights Task Force

We welcome Latah County students in grades 1-12 to participate in the 2024-25 Martin Luther King, Jr. Art and Essay Contest!

This year’s theme is “The Promise of Democracy”.

A little about us and ways to become involved!

Our 2023 Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast on January 21st was a great success with an excellent presentation by Dr. Scott Finnie. A video of the Breakfast, including the Rosa Parks Awards and Dr. Finnie’s speech is now available here: 2023 Breakfast and Friends of Human Rights.

Dr. Scott Finnie’s Keynote address at the 2023 MLK Jr. Breakfast:
