Bloomberg Kicks Off New Effort to Empower Black, Latino Men
Wednesday, August 10, 2011
“Blacks and Latinos are not fully sharing in the promise of American freedom.”
That from a speech this morning by New York City Major Michael Bloomberg, who announced a $127 million, three-year plan to coordinate city agencies and efforts, with a goal of reducing disparities between young black and Latino men and the rest of the population.
Among much else, the city would create job recruitment centers in public housing projects, place new probation centers in high-risk areas to enable young men to stay closer to home, and, for the first time, the Department of Education would make the success of blacks and Latinos a part of school progress reports.
