Each month, LISC CEO and president, Maurice A. Jones, shares his thoughts and ideas on community development topics.
As we celebrate Black History Month, we're reflecting on the present and future of the community development sector—with a focus on racial equity.
Joining Maurice and Morgan this month is Michael McAfee, president and CEO of PolicyLink and a dynamic leader advancing the work of racial equity. McAfee discusses the fundamental role race continues to play in structuring outcomes for communities of color. The conversation explores the ways we can be purposeful in bringing a racial equity lens to community development work, with and on behalf of communities across America.
