Executive Director’s Message June 2020

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Our nation mourns the brutal murder of an unarmed black man at the hands of a police officer in Minneapolis. I recommit myself and the Literacy Council to promoting racial equity and justice. We will continue to work hard to address challenges disproportionately affecting Black and other marginalized county residents through our free reading, writing, math, GED, and English tutoring program for low-income adults, and we welcome your feedback on how we can do better.

Sincerely,

Lisa Vernon, Executive Director
