North Idaho is for Everyone
North Idaho is For Everyone
"North Idaho is for Everyone." That's the slogan of the
Kootenai County Task force on Human Relations, an organization that teaches
the value of diversity and fights against prejudice in all its forms. North
Idaho is proud of the work of the Task Force, and proud of the region's
strong support for human rights.
Idaho has Tough Anti-Harassment Laws
The truth is, Idaho has some of the nation's strictest
anti-harassment laws. The fact has been widely and prominently recognized.
In 1987, Coeur d'Alene was honored in New York City as the first community
to receive the prestigious Raoul Wallengberg Award. The award, conferred for
outstanding work in human rights, carries a $5,000 honorarium. These funds
were used to create a 230-volume human rights collection which is housed in
the city library.
Coeur d'Alene - All American City
In 1990, Coeur d'Alene was named an All American City.
This designation recognized the outstanding work of the Kootenai County Task
Force on Human Relations.
Far from being a haven for extremists, North Idaho is a
place where strict anti-harassment laws and caring, concerned citizens have
sent out a strong message that prejudice will not be tolerated.
