October 2016 Meeting

Systemic Racial Inequality in State Government Exposed

Our presenter, Alicia Clark, conducted a study of systemic discrimination and racism in state government in collaboration with the Inter-denominational Ministers Action Council and the NAACP. The study covered minorities including African-Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics and women.

Ms. Clark will present the findings of the study and will also cover the recommendations that were suggested to resolve the problems of racism and discrimination in the state’s 13 major departments. Also included will be the governor’s response to the study, already implemented action steps, and things that still need to be done to ensure equal employment opportunities for state employees and job applicants.
