Watertown Celebrates Fifteenth Annual Unity Breakfast Watertown will celebrate its fifteenth Unity Breakfast on Monday, January 19, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM at the Helenic Cultural Center, 25 Bigelow Avenue. The event brings together hundreds of people, representing Watertown’s diverse population, to remember Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the man who devoted his life to ending prejudice and racism in our country. The Unity Breakfast has become a Watertown tradition, with 400 participants and a diverse program that includes a noted keynote speaker, lively choral and vocal performances, essays and art projects by Watertown middle and high school students, and presentation of the annual Unity Award to a distinguished individual or community organization. This year’s keynote speaker is Dr. Emmett G. Price III, one of the nation’s leading experts on African American Music, Music of the African Diaspora, and African American Culture. In addition to Dr. Price, and adding to the music theme, we are thrilled to welcome Francois Clemmons, an Afro-American singer, performer, playwright and university lecturer. As well as music, the breakfast will include essays by middle and high school students on the meaning of the day, and the annual Unity Award which is presented to an individual or group who has demonstrated outstanding service to the community.
