Hey ya'll, It's taken me a while but I've finished my graphic slides for the Biden-Harris Administrations impact on the Black Community.

It's important to identify what the problems are how to target them, so I compare/contrast and point out areas of vulnerability. Slides below

Please remember, I have a limit of 2:20. The video is intriguing but it's better to read the slides individually.
I will post sources at the end of this thread for time purposes.

We as a community cannot solve our issues, without comprehending the problems. During the Pandemic, Black families and businesses were quite vulnerable. Along just about every metric the ARP improved our condition.

Not by lift all boats, but in a targeted Pro-Black way.

This administration did not simply protect, it also planned for our future. The IIJA targets much of the institutions and amenities that Black People work and utilize every day. Our future will be brighter because of it.

(7-8)
While the executive office is limited without the support of Congress, the Biden-Harris Admin has made great strides reforming and or repairing the damage done by its predecessor.

As far as education is concerned, this influx of aid to HBCUs and K-12 is only the beginning.

(9-11)
Much of this admin's executive orders have been focused around areas with a high percentage of Black involvement.

For my hoteps, FBA/ADOS, generally ignorant people, yes there are EOs that specifically says "Black/ Black Americans". lol

Use your vote. If this was possible with a slim majority, imagine what we could do with more.
