As February is Black History Month, we honor Black Americans as stewards of American progress and democratic ideals at every stage of our nation’s history. From the national economy built on their backs, to the everyday technology we rely on, and the highest grossing exports of American culture, Black history is clearly synonymous with American history.
But at NCRC, this acknowledgement is not tied to one month in the year. It is a daily part of our work, and in order to ensure the next chapter of American history is rooted in equity and justice, we must address economic, social, environmental and health disparities that plague Black Americans.
At the 2023 Just Economy Conference, we will discuss the impact of these disparities and solutions we need to champion change, from expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act to improving the Black homeownership rate, to so much more.
