The National Urban League's annual State of Black America Report reveals alarming trends regarding civil rights protections for Black individuals. The report indicates ongoing assaults on voting rights and the reduction of initiatives aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Marc Morial, CEO of the National Urban League, states there is a 'state of emergency' as these civil rights are being dismantled, urging a collective response to uphold democracy and address poverty. The report has been crucial in tracking civil rights progress since its inception in 1976.
"There is a state of emergency in Black America, and our report this year is a warning and a rallying cry as civil rights protections are being unraveled (and) democracy is under siege."
"What began as what we thought were fringe attacks on racial equity has now become national policy. We are in a state of emergency, and the National Urban League has a fundamental obligation to stand up for democracy, to stand up for diversity, and stand up for economic policies that defeat poverty."
