State of Black Ohio
The Institute will soon begin a two-year investigation of the trends, opportunities and challenges facing the African American community in Ohio. The research initiative is supported by The State of Ohio and will comprehensively assess conditions in the areas of education, housing, neighborhoods, economic opportunity, public safety and many other critical topics for African Americans in Ohio. The initiative will look at trends impacting the African American community, analyze how Ohio’s African American community is faring in respect to other states and identify policies and best practices to improve conditions for African Americans in Ohio. The two-year project will commence in January of 2008 and will be finished in December of 2009. Materials for the initiative will be posted as the project progresses.
