JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – For the third year in a row, Jacksonville will have two large breakfasts to honor Martin Luther King Junior Friday morning.
The city held one and local civil rights groups hosted the other. Both were virtual this year because of the pandemic.

The split happened in 2019 after 32 years of sharing one event. Local civil rights activist groups said city officials were shutting them out of planning the breakfast event.
The mayor’s office denied the accusations, saying they invited the groups to several meetings.
