The half-century mark afforded the commission an opportunity to conduct one of the most comprehensive civil rights awareness campaigns in the history of the state. The agency began the year with its largest ever participation in the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Louisville Motorcade held in January. In February, the commission officially kicked off the civil rights awareness campaign with a program that recognized the 44th anniversary of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act. On March 18, the commission joined Governor Steven Beshear in the state capitol as he signed a Kentucky Human Rights Day proclamation and spoke to over 100 people. Throughout 2010, the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights produced a series of listening tours held all over the state to give constituents the opportunity to learn about their civil rights and to discuss equality concerns unique to their own regions. The commission unveiled four Gallery of Great Black Kentuckians educational posters including the Gallery’s 50th poster to mark the anniversary. The agency conducted a series of immigrant education and outreach events, conducted civil rights training sessions, police and community diversity training, and fair housing education. The anniversary campaign ended with an exciting educational program.

When the pragmatically liberal Governor Bert T. Combs passed his 3% retail sales tax, in 1960, the people on the Cumberland Plateau felt a surge of confidence. After decades of neglect, local school boards in eastern Kentucky were finally able to offer qualified teachers with a college degree a raise of $900 dollars per year, and perhaps, stem the tide of good teachers who were leaving the region for bigger cities, or leaving the state for greener pastures in Ohio or Tennessee. The tax helped military veterans and funded new classrooms. Teacher standards were raised, a network of vocational schools and ten community colleges opened, and work began on the ambitious Kentucky Educational Television network which would greatly expand educational programming in rural areas. As lawyer and former Kentucky state legislator Harry M. Caudill reported, in his definitive Night Comes to the Cumberlands, that the public schools in eastern Kentucky lagged far behind. A 1960 University of Kentucky study found that high school graduates in Harlan County were performing three years and five months behind high school graduates nationally and were in no position to compete for good jobs.
