Events of the past few days and weeks have again shown us that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to race and racism in this country. Racism is vile, deplorable and detestable. There is no form of racism that is acceptable, and in no way can it be justified. Our black community has borne the brunt of this injustice for far too long. The adversity and prejudice that black people in America face is something we must all address and seek to remedy…together. Great Lakes Productions and Mr. and Miss Gay Indiana will lend our support to a solution and stand with all those committed to change.
