McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility’s Post

As we commemorate Juneteenth this year, let's remember that the road to equality across our nation remains a long one. Our recent research highlighted that it would take centuries to close equity gaps for Black Americans, but there are opportunities to accelerate progress through place-based solutions. In a recent column in The Columbus Dispatch, Partner Duwain Pinder focuses in on one of the fastest growing cities in the country, noting it would take 700 years to achieve equality in Columbus on the current trajectory. Duwain highlights for solutions to advance equity for local residents and make the region not just a growing community, but also a thriving one. https://lnkd.in/eQzVHxNN #Juneteenth #InclusiveGrowth
