Robert F. Smith says🔊#more #to #be #done #beyond advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion. We #must: ✅#broaden our #focus to include #economic #justice – and we can do this by providing #opportunities for #prosperity and #investing in the infinite #potential of #future #generations. ✅#build the #economic #infrastructure needed to #bridge the #racialwealthgap. ✅#invest in #education, #digital #technology and the #talent #pipeline to help close opportunity gaps that affect #Black #Americans, including the #generationalwealthgap.
Black Americans continue to break significant barriers in our society but still endure systemic obstacles that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other leaders involved in the Civil Rights Movement were devoted to fighting against. Despite these hindrances, Black Americans persevere, remain steadfast and work to shape the future of this country. Yet, there remains a struggle for relevance, a sense of belonging and ownership of this nation. I stood before a crowd at the 60th Anniversary of the #MarchOnWashington for Jobs and Freedom to address the varied courses of action we can take to achieve equality. It goes beyond advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion. We must broaden our focus to include economic justice – and we can do this by providing opportunities for prosperity and investing in the infinite potential of future generations. We must build the economic infrastructure needed to bridge the #racialwealthgap. And it is up to us to invest in #education, digital #technology and the talent pipeline to help close opportunity gaps that affect Black Americans, including the #generationalwealthgap. Watch my full remarks from that day. https://bit.ly/48cSp8r
