April Latah County Human Rights Task Force events

["Linda Pall" <lpall@moscow.com>]

Dear Visionaries,

 

Here are two messages I received from Walter Hesford of the University of Idaho and Joann Muneta, chair of the Latah Co. Human Rights Task Force. I thought these would be great events for visionaries to enjoy!

 

Please note that anyone interested is always welcome at the meetings of the Human Rights Task Force!

 

Check some of these out!

 

All the best,

Linda Pall

This was put together by Jim and Bertie Weddell who were inspired by meeting some of our Latino friends at the MLK Breakfast.

Remember Yolanda Bisbee saying "don't count us, communicate with us" - this is a great chance to do just that.

Next event for the Task Force is sponsoring Living Voices presentation about Japanese American relocation during WWII. This will be Sunday, April 21 at the Moscow Jr. High Multi-Purpose Room. We are sponsoring this with the Palouse Asian American Association. Pot luck at 5:30pm and program at 7pm.
