Never More Urgent: A Preliminary Review of How the U.S. is Leaving Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Communities Behind
SDSN USA is pleased to share our newest project in conjunction with the National Center for Faith Based Initiatives and Howard University: Never More Urgent: A Preliminary Review of How the U.S. is Leaving Black, Hispanic and Indigenous Communities Behind. This report examines how well the United States, and US states in particular, serve communities of color by using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a tool for evaluating performance.
