Bryan County residents have until Oct. 31 to fill out an online survey from the Richmond Hill Cultural and Diversity Taskforce.
The survey, which is anonymous, is reportedly an attempt to “gather feedback from Bryan County residents regarding law enforcement, education, and economic development, specifically in regard to race and racism. The group seeks to better understand the thoughts and experiences of local residents, all in service of investigating racial inequities and improving racial understanding.”
The Bryan County NAACP formed the task force to “investigate disparities in Richmond Hill and Bryan County and use data to identify, prioritize and tackle these issues,” according to Bryan County NAACP President Johnnie Quiller.
The group includes Quiller and Richmond Hill City Councilman Steve Scholar as facilitators, and Richmond Hill Mayor Russ Carpenter is listed as an ad hoc, or “when needed,” member.
The task force is broken down into three groups – education, criminal justice and economic opportunity.
Karen Boles Grant, Thomasina Butler and Rosy Perez will focus on education; Scott Baker, Lorenzo Ross, Eva Newbold and James Fulwood will handle criminal justice; and Luella Sanders, Fausto Tenen, Ursula Lee and Johnnie Miller are on the economic opportunity committee.
