The Unacceptable Truth

We are addressing the disparities that threaten the future of so many youths.

• “Minnesota has one of the nation’s largest educational achievement gaps, with disparities across socioeconomic, race and ethnicity statuses.”
  (Federal Reserve of Minneapolis report, 2018)
• “Measured by racial gaps in unemployment rates, wage and salary incomes, incarceration rates, arrest rates, home ownership rates…test scores, reported child maltreatment rates, school disciplinary and suspension rates, and even drowning rates, African Americans are worse off in Minnesota than they are in virtually every other state in the nation.”
  (Professor Samuel L Myers, Jr., Professor, Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations and Social Justice, The Minnesota Paradox, 2020)
