Thanks to President Trump, black Americans are making historic progress and enjoying growing opportunities. #DemDebate
President Trump recently announced that historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) with religious affiliations “will no longer be restricted from accessing federal funding.”
President Trump also signed the historic #FirstStepAct into law, which undid much of the damage from the Biden crime bill and created a “fairer justice system for all and enacted programs to reduce recidivism and make our communities safer.”
Since the #FirstStepAct was signed into law, 90% of those who have had their sentences reduced are African American.
Last month, the black unemployment rate hit a record low of 5.5%. Prior to the Trump presidency, it had never been below 7%. #DemDebate
The black poverty rate hit a new record low of 20.8% in 2018.
