Lawrence to conduct survey about systemic racism using public kiosks throughout December

The City of Lawrence will be using public kiosks to survey residents about systemic racism throughout the month of December. As the Journal-World previously reported, the city is seeking residents’ input about systemic racism to help inform potentially fundamental changes in policing and other city functions. The city’s Human Relations Commission has partnered with the University of Kansas Center for Public Partnerships and Research to gather input from residents about systemic racism and its effects on safety, health, education, economic development and housing, according to a news release from the city. The commission has worked with KU to write 10 statements, and residents will be asked whether they agree or disagree with the statements as part of the survey.
