Parade Response Planned In Moscow

Fri., July 9, 1999

The Latah County Human Rights Task Force is planning a cultural awareness event here in response to a possible Aryan Nations parade Saturday.

“We cannot stop the march, but we must not be silent,” said Task Force Chair Joann Muneta. “We will express our opposition, and we choose to do so in a positive way that will leave a lasting legacy for our children.”

Entitled “Remembering Anne Frank,” the event will be held in Friendship Square at the Moscow Farmer’s Market from 8 a.m. to noon and will kick off a fund drive to help build the Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial in Boise.

Community members will be invited to write messages on flyers with Anne Frank’s picture, and children can dress and display multicultural paper dolls. The flyers and dolls will be hung across Friendship Square. The Latah County Humans Rights Task Force has pledged to raise at least $1,500 to help build the memorial in Boise’s cultural district.

Contributions earmarked for the Anne Frank Memorial may be sent to the Latah County Human Rights Task Force at P.O. Box 8613 in Moscow.

Another Moscow-based human rights group, the Coalition Against Nazis, is organizing shuttle rides to Coeur d’Alene for those who want to participate in a counter-demonstration march from the Aryan Nations parade site to Independence Point and the city park. Two vans will depart from the Moscow Rosauers parking lot at 7 a.m. and travel to the corner of Fifth Avenue and Front Street in Coeur d’Alene, where several human rights groups will be mobilizing. For more information, call (208) 882-9755.
