Louisville, KY. – The Black Alliance for Educational Options (BAEO) is sponsoring an educational forum on charter schools and parental choice options for failing black and low income students within Jefferson County Public Schools and throughout Kentucky. Dr. Howard Fuller, the pioneer education reformer and one of the nations’s most distinguished advocates for providing children from black and low-income families with educational options, will be speaking at the forum, which will be held at Louisville's Quinn Chapel AME Church, 1901 W. Muhammad Ali, Blvd tonight from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. A few months before his death, the late Pastor Louis Coleman led a group of 14 persons, including six other black Pastors from Louisville, to visit public charter schools in Milwaukee, where they met with BAEO and Dr. Fuller.
