ROSA PARKS HUMAN RIGHTS ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
NOMINATIONS NOW BEING ACCEPTED
 
The Latah County Human Rights Task Force is requesting nominations for the 2016 Rosa Parks Human Rights Achievement Awards. Two recipients are selected for this award each year and the awards are presented at the Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Community Breakfast. The 2016 Breakfast is scheduled for Saturday, January 16th at the Moscow Middle School. One award is given to a recipient who has a significant history of commitment and achievement in the field of human rights for Latah County. A Junior Award is presented to a high school or university student, or some other young person who is shows promise in the field of human rights. The award is named for Rosa Parks, who refused to sit in the back of the bus as African Americans were required to do in Alabama. Her courage started the Montgomery bus boycott, which marked a great stride forward for human rights and integration.
 
The criteria for the selection of a Rosa Parks award include, but are not limited to, length of active participation in human rights causes; a record of leadership and accomplishment; and manifestations of special courage and commitment in opposing bigotry and celebrating diversity. To nominate an individual send a one to two page letter describing the accomplishments and background of the nominee and giving reasons to support the nomination  to Latah County Human Rights Task Force, Box 8613, Moscow, ID 83843 or e-mail the nomination to Joann Muneta at jmuneta at uidaho.edu. .. The deadline for nominations is Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015.
