A report by the Chicago Urban League outlined how the lack of racial equity and inclusion negatively impacts African Americans living in the city.
"Challenges in education and health care. Challenges relative to housing, wealth development, income gaps," said Chicago Urban League President Karen Freeman-Wilson.
This year's report focuses on the burden of being Black, and examines the economic disparities in employment that many African Americans see. One way to fix the problem is to create parity. The Chicago Urban League has partnered with Trinity United Church's Imani Village to offer training in trades and renewable energy at their 27-acre multi-use community.
