We look at some hard facts about our city and our community. "Hard Facts" is the name of a 2017 report on inequality, and this week, there's an update. The 2020 Hard Facts report does not offer a much brighter picture. Our community continues to see massive disparities when it comes to educational and economic opportunities. Those disparities tend to fall along racial lines.
The authors of the report join us to discuss the roots of these inequities, the data itself, and what can we do to create systemic change. Our guests:
- Ed Doherty, principal author and researcher of the Hard Facts Update
- Simeon Banister, vice president of community programs at the Rochester Community Foundation
- Ann Johnson, executive director of ACT Rochester
