Event Summary

The National Urban League released its 50th annual 'State of Black America' report on Thursday, warning that Black Americans' economic and political prospects have worsened due to policy changes from President Donald Trump's administration. The report cites overhauls of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and the United States — United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as well as voting law changes through the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, as rollbacks of civil rights. It also condemns Trump's efforts to roll back diversity initiatives in the private sector. Contributors include Senators Angela Alsobrooks, Lisa Blunt Rochester, Raphael Warnock, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and mayors Brandon Scott and Jacob Frey. The report lauds former President Joe Biden's stimulus and infrastructure bills.
