Description
Our host, LUL President & CEO Lyndon Pryor, is joined by Terrance Sullivan, Racial Justice Director of Amnesty International USA. Before joining Amnesty International, Sullivan was appointed Executive Director of the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights in June 2020 during the height of the new age racial justice movement. Sullivan credits growing up as a "poor Black kid in a small white town" as the reason behind his advocacy.
The duo discusses the new era of civil rights, the impediment of growth in the commonwealth, the effects of bad policy, and Louisville versus the rest of Kentucky.
Sullivan graduated from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. In 2020, he founded AntiRacismKY, a coalition focused on rooting out institutional racism in Kentucky state and local government policy. He is also the Vice Chair of the Jefferson County Public Schools Advisory Council for Racial Equity.
