A partnership between the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts, the NAACP Boston Branch, and the William Monroe Trotter Institute of UMass Boston.
The State of Black Boston is a call to action, an effort to better understand the causes of racial inequality and disparity in the city of Boston and to collectively formulate strategies for addressing these challenges. It is a tool to assess, measure, and understand the nature of racial inequality among Bostonians.
The State of Black Boston is not only a compilation of data and stories from some of the city's key voices and civic participants about the nature and extent of racial inequality, but also ideas and strategies for resolving continuing racial gaps. More than just a reference document with extensive data depicting Black life in Boston, it will also serve as a means to facilitate community forums to investigate lessons learned with other strategies to overcome racial inequalities. Very importantly, it will act as a mechanism to help organize, leaders, elected officials, philanthropic institutions, and local residents to take action.
