The Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast Committee is pleased to announce the Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast to be held on Monday, January 15, 2024. The event will take place at Blue Ridge Community College, in the Technology Education & Development Center. Food will be served beginning at 8:15 AM with our program beginning at 9:00 AM.

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast Fund was established to promote understanding, collaboration and unity between all members of the Henderson County community by supporting the annual MLK, Jr. Unity Breakfast.

This year, our theme is “Never Forget”, and our speaker is Robert “Zack” Zachary.

Robert “Zack” Zachary is an activist, poet and co-creator of PRAE (People’s Revolutionary Art Ensemble). At age sixteen, he met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. when he spoke at a mass meeting in his hometown. Each year, as part of the Martin Luther King Jr. week in Asheville, Zack gives a special concert of Negro Spirituals and Freedom Songs. Zack is active around the country at many conferences, festivals and has a host of interviews on NPR, college campus radio stations, and local TV stations. He has a book coming off the press early 2024, by Newman Springs Publishing: Forgotten Stories Remembered.

Our partner, Bojangles will provide breakfast. Items will include sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, juice, and coffee. Vegan breakfast burritos will be provided by Hendersonville Community Co-op.

Tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
