The Untold Story of St. Cloud’s 6th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast and Day of Service

In the first Untold Story of Central Minnesota of 2019, Arts & Cultural Heritage Producer Jeff Carmack visits with Professor Deborah Leigh about the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Breakfast and Day of Service on Monday, January 21st beginning at 8:00 AM.

Now in its sixth year with over 20 local sponsors, the MLK Breakfast will feature a keynote address from bestselling author and award-winning journalist Wil Haygood, a biographer of numerous change-making African-Americans including Eugene Allen, the real-life inspiration for the film The Butler.

It’s more than just breakfast, however, as there will also be a variety of service opportunities and community networking opportunities. This annual event has grown so large that the organizers have had to move it off campus to the River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud. It remains free and open to the public, but registration is required. You can find links to that on our website at KVSC.org under the area events tab.
