U.S.: Urban League Reports Black Americans Equality Index at 71.8 Percent

In a recent report by the National Urban League, the organization states that the 2010 “Equality Index” for black Americans stands at 71.8 percent of white Americans.  This “Equality Index” shows an increase over the 2009 Equality Index which was 71.1 percent.

As CNN reports: “An equality index of less than 100 percent suggests that blacks are doing worse relative to whites, while an index greater than 100 percent suggests that blacks are doing better.”

We call for equality for all Americans.
