PSKOR Anti-Racism Statement

The Plains States Kodály Organization believes that inclusion and respect should be at the core of all Kodály learning environments and practiced by our membership both inside and outside of their classrooms. We denounce injustices imposed on any communities of color and particularly condemn violence against Black communities in our country.

 

Anti-racism is an ongoing discussion among PSKOR board members, and we will continue to reflect on our own organizational practices as well as systemic racial inequities within our country and local communities. As our awareness of who PSKOR is and what we represent evolves, we are dedicated to listening, learning, and acting in ways that support BBIP (Black, Brown, Indigenous People) and all communities of color. 

 

We also acknowledge that personal growth requires reflection, work, and pressing ourselves for change. Confronting truths about ourselves is difficult, but actively taking this journey as a board and chapter is the only way to grow.
