These little cookies were baked by our friend Debbie, who served them at her annual Martin Luther King Day luncheon in her home. They are the sweetest idea, illustrating the collaboration that all of us must have to help address the unity of all races. 
Debbie, pictured on the left, hosts this gathering in her home, and many of the guests bring side-dishes and desserts to compliment the ham that she prepares.
The luncheon follows Tacoma's annual MLK Day Celebration at the Tacoma Dome.
This year over 2,600 people gathered in Exhibition Hall, to mark the achievements of the women of the civil rights movement - Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, Shirley Chisholm, Coretta Scott King, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Roosevelt was one of many DAR members who resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1938 when they refused permission for Anderson to sing to an integrated audience in Constitution Hall. The program had fantastic music, inspiring lectures, dance, and comments by local community leaders. Our governor, Christine Gregoire, also spoke and congratulated the organizers of Tacoma's Martin Luther King Day on their 20th year. Community Service Awards were given to Bernice Griffin and Melannie Cunningham by Tacoma's Human Rights and Human Services Department.I'll post the photo's I took that afternoon in our Flickr account.
