Diversity & Inclusion Task Force

Mission

After months of deliberating in the post-COVID, post- George Floyd America, this Task Force identified five areas that we explored in-depth:

1. Root causes of racism
2. Educational reform for people of color
3. Fatigue of fear for children and adults of colors
4. Policing policies as instituted by the Mobile Police Department
5. Economic opportunities

In 2022, we are looking to regather, in conjunction with our revitalized Public Safety Task Force, to work together on youth violence, as it is a major concern for our area.

Diversity & Inclusion Programs

2013

One of the primary aspects of Mobile in Black & White is its structured community conversation process.

Although these conversations have centered around different issues in the community, there are common principles that are central to each community conversation.
