Joint Center Quoted in The New York Times on Firing of Black Officials

Joint Center President Dedrick Asante-Muhammad was quoted in an article published in The New York Times that focused on high-ranking Black officials who were fired from their roles under the Trump administration.

The dearth of Black people at the top, he said, would result in ‘radical substantive policy changes’ for African Americans.”
