The City is apparently pausing its program for a “Fishers Race Initiative” while “re-evaluating” its contract with the Soul Focused Group.

If you check the section of the city Web site about the Fishers Race Initiative, you see this message:

Thank you for your interest. In light of recent information shared with the City of Fishers about statements made by members of the Soul Focused Group team, the City is re-evaluating its contractual relationship and has suspended additional registrations at this time. 

I have reached out to the city for comment on just what information is referenced in the message, along with the reason for the suspension of the program,  but have yet to receive a response.  I have also reached out to the Soul Focused Group and have not yet received a response.

The city invited any Fishers resident to enroll in a course titled Interrupting Racism in 2020, free of charge, and had a reasonably good response.

Once I receive additional information, I will post it on LarryInFishers.com.
