The Kentucky Legislature’s Interim Joint Committee on Education heard testimony about school choice and achievement gaps at its November 10, 2014 meeting, and one of the key speakers was Mendell Grinter, the head of the Kentucky branch of the Black Alliance for Educational Options. Mendell’s group does a lot of outreach to parents of color to find out what challenges they and their children are facing in our educational system.

This short video, which contains some key comments from Mendell’s testimony, is worth your time.
