By Erica Wright The Birmingham Times The 35th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Unity Breakfast may have been virtual due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, but the spirit of Dr. King could be felt by anyone who watched the moving ceremony through computer screens. The annual unity breakfast, which is usually held at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) North Exhibition Hall was streamed live on livestream.com to comply with safe, social distancing guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While the breakfast may have looked different, that did not stop hundreds of community members from tuning in to the breakfast which featured words from local and state leaders, essay contest winners, video presentations, songs, and a keynote address from Congresswoman Terri A. Sewell (D-AL).Â
