Human Rights Commission Unity Breakfast coming up in October, nominations open

The Hopkinsville Human Rights Commission is gearing up for their 48th annual Unity Breakfast in October and the community is invited to nominate award winners and attend.

Nikki Chambers says the theme for this year’s breakfast is “Light Up the World with Kindness” and that’s the message they want to spread October 27 at 7 a.m. at the James E. Bruce Convention Center.

She says nominations are still open until Friday for awards, including the Unity awards and the prestigious Hal and Bettye Thurmond Award.

Nominations can be made by visiting the Human Rights Commission Facebook page or website and submitting an application online.  Chambers says tickets for the breakfast are available ahead of time from any commissioner or through their Facebook page.

Tickets will be $30 at the door day of the event. The Unity Breakfast is held in October of each year in conjunction with the annual Human Rights Week.
