We had a very
successful event on January 5th and 6th, where
over 1100 people helped set the ground work for the African American
Agenda. The community is energized and ready to take action to reduce
disparities in our community and to ensure that the growth and progress
of local African Americans mirrors that of the larger
Charlotte-Mecklenburg community. With your help and dedication, we
are confident that the African American Agenda will be implemented to
create sustainable, positive change. |
