Achieving Racial Justice and Economic Equity

By: Angela Glover Blackwell

This book explores the policies needed to support low-income and working people ofcolor to remain in cities, ascend politically, contribute fully, and share in prosperity. The book tells the stories of courageous activists and bold leaders who are generating innovative approaches to racial and economic inclusion. Underlying this book is a vision of cities as incubators of innovation in a nation where people of color soon will become the majority. It's a vision of cities as engines of equitable growth and as places where all can find a home, be valued for their human assets, participate in economic, social, civic, and political life, and thrive. It is a forward-looking vision, informed by the unique Black experience in cities and the universal lessons that history holds.
