Overcoming Unjust Systems
As a nation, we’ve developed and perpetuated unjust systems that have created an unfair playing field for people of color. Yet despite this persistent adversity, Black Americans continue to lead American cultural, scientific and technological advancements.
As we move into this new decade, NICHQ not only celebrates those accomplishments, but also pledges to promote equity, so that future accomplishments no longer require overcoming an unjust set of obstacles. Here, NICHQ CEO Scott D. Berns expands on his personal and professional commitment.
