Covid-19 and Racial Equity in Milwaukee
What have we learned and where do we go from here?
The 13th Annual Urban Studies鈥� State of Milwaukee Summit was held on Thursday, Nov. 17, from 7-8:30 pm in the 51猎奇 Golda Meir Library Conference Center (2311 East Hartford Avenue, Milwaukee, WI 53211 鈥� Fourth floor via elevator in the Library鈥檚 West Wing)
One of the Covid-19 pandemic鈥檚 many impacts on society has been to shine a light on longstanding racial disparities and other social inequalities and make them impossible to ignore.
