WHAT ABOUT US? After 27 years of study, the United States government decided to update its collection of racial and ethnic data. A “Multiracial” classification was not included. I also believe that the current policy decisions of the US government, the Census Bureau, OMB, The Supreme Court, and other groups are harmful and mean that a true Multiracial classification may never be recognized. Therefore, Project RACE will officially cease operations on August 1, 2024. Project RACE has been actively involved in supporting a Multiracial category for 34 years and has [...]

She went to Nevada to launch the reelection's outreach campaign to Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders and addressed the crowd as "longtime friends." Then, she was in Dallas last week to speak at the annual gathering of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, the Black sorority that she pledged as a student at Howard University, one of the most storied [...]

The largest public school district in Kansas has agreed to revise its disciplinary practices as part of a settlement with the US Justice Department, resolving a federal civil rights investigation that determined its educators engaged in a pattern of discrimination against Black and disabled students. As part of the settlement agreement, which the Justice Department announced Tuesday, the Wichita Public Schools district will implement changes to end its use of seclusion, reform its restraint practices and refrain from referring students to law enforcement while dealing with routine school discipline matters, [...]

The following is an opinion piece that appeared in the Alabama Political Reporter. It is simply the best opinion piece I have read about the state of our country. -Susan Opinion | It was good while it lasted It was good while it lasted, America.

It has been 60 years since the Civil Rights Bill of 1964 was signed into law. The Civil Rights Bill was sent to the House Rules Committee in Nov. 1963.

He allowed the debate in January 1964 after the threat of a discharge petition and pressure from the public. H.R. 7152 was passed by the rules committee on Jan. 30, 1964. The bill passed the House in February by a [...]

REPARATIONS FOR MULTIRACIAL PEOPLE? By Susan Graham, President, Project RACE   Now that Junteenth has been celebrated, it has again raised the question of reparations for Black people. I am not convinced that reparations are a good thing for anyone, but a case can be made for adding Multiracial individuals to the list of people who are supposed to qualify as Black. I say if Black people can get the estimated over a million dollars in reparation money or better housing dollars, for example, Multiracial people have a right to [...]

Tractor Supply Co. backtracks on DEI roles and goals Tractor Supply Company has eliminated its diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as part of what the retail chain says is a push to distance itself from “nonbusiness activities” after conservative backlash from some of its customer base. In a news release Thursday, Tractor Supply, which advertises itself as the country’s “largest rural lifestyle retailer,” said it will stop sponsoring activities like “pride festivals and voting campaigns” and would be cutting DEI roles and “retire (its) current DEI goals while still ensuring [...]
