On Monday, June 3, the new Center for Community Uplift (CCU) at Brookings, directed by Senior Fellow Andre M. Perry, will explore how different racial groups perceive their progress on measures of well-being and economic security. The “Paths to Progress” event is co-hosted by HUMANLEVEL, an initiative founded by artist and activist John Legend that promotes systemic change and racial equity across American communities. Differentiating from the dominant discourse around racial divisions, “Paths to Progress” will address racial equity as a unifying priority and an issue at stake in the upcoming presidential election.
