It is vividly clear to us today that Kentucky law enforcement practice and our rules for the safety of humans in their homes and our streets must change. The work of anti-racism \u2013 of creating a society that works for all of us \u2014 must permeate all institutions and our lives together.<\/p>\n
The Prichard Committee\u2019s work is in education, and we therefore commit to intensive, sustained, collaborative work in that field. We will say more on that in a few hours. For now, we offer our solidarity to all who are angry, grieving, and frightened by Ms. Taylor\u2019s death, and our determination to contribute to a Kentucky that respects, empowers, and protects Black lives.<\/p>\n
###<\/p>\n
The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence is an independent, nonpartisan, citizen-led organization working to improve education in Kentucky \u2013 early childhood through postsecondary.<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
