Welcome Remarks Marc H. Morial
2021 State of Black America
Welcome Remarks Marc H. Morial
“It isn't one pandemic we face, but three," says National Urban League President and CEO Marc H. Morial. Systemic, structural racism, Morial argues, is the cause of highly disproportionate COVID-related deaths in Black and Brown communities, as well as crippling job loss concentrated in front-line, essential industries. At the national level and in communities across the country, the Urban League combats the toll suffered by people of color and leads a progressive path forward. In his opening remarks, President Morial offers a concise, trenchant assessment of the State of Black America in 2021. Join the Urban League leader for a comprehensive analysis of the battle thus far and the surprising prospects for victory over the three-pronged pandemic.
