Change can happen only if African Americans in this country
unite and serve our own interest! If we do not work together to address the ongoing issues that are troubling our community
then we cannot expect others to work on these problems.
The impact of urbanization reflects the generations of struggles
that have confronted the African American community.
Here is a list of ten important issues that effect the quality of
life in the African American community.
1. Affordable housing 2. Jobs/work/ 3. Affordable
health care.
4. Crime 5. lack of access to education/information
6. political disenfranchisement 7. economic exploitation
8. drugs/addiction
9. lack of local African American cultural institutions
10. lack of local arts/ publishing and literary
institutions in the community.
There is no stable middle class African American
community until we address these issues.
We cannot be free until we are all free!
We are our only hope!
