As the City of Lawrence’s first ever director of equity and inclusion, Farris Muhammad began by listening. Muhammad, who recently completed his first year with the city, said that listening to the voices of those who are marginalized in the community was one way he sought to understand the landscape. He said when he asked people about their experiences and their history, a lot of them were candid, saying that Lawrence strives to be progressive, but there is a lot of work that still needs to be done.
