MONTPELIER A state commission has found that the Vermont State Police and the Vermont Department of Public Safety illegally discriminated against the African American director of the Clemmons Family Farm based on her race and gender.
In a 5-0 vote in March, the Vermont Human Rights Commission found there were reasonable grounds to believe that troopers violated Vermont’s Fair Housing and Public Accommodations Act in 2017 in their interactions with Lydia Clemmons, the director of the nonprofit center for African American arts, culture and agriculture.
