Racial inequity doesn’t just affect the Black community—it impacts all of us. When barriers to opportunity persist, our entire community bears the burden. Black children in Greenville are five times more likely to live in concentrated poverty than white children. This disparity doesn’t just harm those families—it limits our entire region’s potential.
Eliminating race-based disparities unlocks new possibilities for our businesses, schools, and neighborhoods. We’re building a community where every child, every family, and every individual can succeed.
Black women are 4.2 times more likely to die from pregnancy than White women.
Discrimination was recognized as a contributing factor in more than one third of the pregnancy- related deaths reviewed.
