Create A Marshall Plan for Black America

Black Americans remain enormously disadvantaged in the United States of America.
The 2010 census showed that the median wealth owned by White families was $110,000, yet an average Black family owns less than $5,000.
Black unemployment is generally twice that of Whites. In fact, racial disparities, rooted in America’s shameful history of slavery and discrimination, affect every major economic indicator, as well as health and education outcomes.
America has failed to live up to its promise of equal opportunities for all. This wrong must be put right.
After WWII, the Marshall Plan rebuilt Europe. We call on President Obama to create A Marshall Plan for Black America.
We ask the president to fund a grassroots economic development plan that will create true equality of opportunity for all.
