The Hopkinsville-Christian County Human Rights Commission is gearing up for a busy October, and there’s still time to get tickets and nominate someone for an award for this year’s Unity Breakfast.
The annual Unity Breakfast, hosted by the Human Rights Commission, is set for October 23 at the James E. Bruce Convention Center, and Executive Director Raychel Farmer says don’t miss out—make sure you get your ticket while there’s still some up for grabs.
The breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. that morning and there’s several awards up for grabs, including Unity Awards from Hopkinsville, Oak Grove and Christian County local governments, and the prestigious Hal and Bettye Thurmond Award, and Farmer says they’re still accepting nominations, with the deadline to get those in September 26.
Christian Circuit Judge Andrew Self will be the keynote speaker at the Unity Breakfast, which carries the theme of “Humility, Unity, Peace”. Farmer says that’s the spirit at the heart of the HRC, and she wants people to be aware of their resources, if they feel they’ve faced discrimination in the workforce or housing.
This will be the 51st Unity Breakfast—you can learn more on the Hopkinsville Human Rights Commission Facebook page or head online to hoptown.org/hrc
