City of Kalamazoo issued the following announcement on June 15.
The Foundation for Excellence (FFE) board of directors has issued the following statement related to our current national reckoning with historic and contemporary racism and police violence toward Black Americans:
“Part of the mission of the Foundation for Excellence is to empower us all as Kalamazoo residents to achieve the lives that we want for ourselves and our families. This mission requires that the historic and systemic racism, injustice, inequity, and poverty that Black Americans have experienced for generations be eliminated unconditionally. The need for urgent and meaningful action cannot be ignored or delayed, and FFE will continue to invest in programs and community partnerships that contribute to achieving this goal as a community. FFE strongly supports the Black Lives Matter movement and the recent protests that have resulted from the killings of Black Americans, most recently George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.”
