Grassroots For A Black Agenda: Quality Education, Equal Employment, and Criminal Justice Reform

by Edward Sanders, Calvin Kerr Jr.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, required equal access to public places and employment, and enforced desegregation of schools and the right to vote. Today, the Black community face an alarming education gap, a higher rate of unemployment/underemployment, and inequalities in the criminal justice system. A Black Agenda or strategy is necessary to reverse these critical issues on a national level through public policy such as a major reform in the areas of education, employment, and criminal justice.
