AK Tolerance Commission Report Goes National


News Release

Tolerance.org, an Internet project of the Southern Poverty Law Center, currently is featuring the report of the Governor's Commission on Tolerance. "Congratulations on your work," Tolerance.org writer and editor Kelvin Datcher told the Alaska Governor's Office. "We would like to send copies of your guide to every governor in America."

The feature-length article, available at www.tolerance.org, begins: "It was a sight Tony Knowles could not get out of his mind: a self-narrated home video of three young white men driving through Anchorage looking for fun, and for Alaska Natives." That was January 2001 and Gov. Knowles soon created the 14-member commission, which late last year published its groundbreaking report and recommendations to fight injustice in Alaska.
