Since 2022, we’ve served as the editorial director for one of the most highly- anticipated benchmarks and sources for thought leadership around racial equality in America, the National Urban League’s State of Black America® report.
Each edition contains penetrating commentary and insightful analysis from recognized authorities and leading figures in politics, the corporate and tech sectors, the nonprofit arena, academia, and popular culture.
In the 2023 report, Democracy In Peril: Confronting the Threat Within, we are raising the alarm around the explosive growth of far-right and domestic extremism and the threat it poses to our communities, our families, and our nation.
