FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Haven, CT: The State of Connecticut’s African-American Commission (AAAC) will be holding a
discussion panel and Q & A forum at City Hall in New Haven, Connecticut on Monday, April 13th, 6PM to
8PM in the Aldermanic Chamber 2nd FL, downtown New Haven.
This will be the first in a series of forums the Commission will hold around Connecticut to discuss the recently released CTRP3 reporting on racial profiling and traffic stops in the State of Connecticut. The AAAC will use this opportunity to have an open, honest, and solutions based discussion with Connecticut’s African-American community and Connecticut’s community at large.
The AAAC recognizes there are many issues affecting the African-American community and we are striving to resolve those issues via policy and community engagement. As always, the AAAC remains focused on the education achievement gap, health disparities and housing. In education the Commission has concentrated its efforts on improving graduation rates for students of color, increased diversity of educators, cultural competency, reducing suspensions and expulsions of minorities, and loan debt facing college students. The AAAC promotes policies that nurture economic development, improved education, better health outcomes and affordable housing for all.
