The Black Wall Street Times highlighted the Joint Center in an article focused on Rep. Ayanna Pressley and the Color of Change press conference, noting that African Americans only received their share of representatives in Congress equal to their population in 2021.

From the article: “With the new Supreme Court ruling gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, possibly half of the Congressional Black Caucus could lose their seats by the mid-term election. The President of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, said at the conference that it was only in 2021 that African Americans finally received their share of representatives in Congress equal to their population.  Critical issues impacting black voters, such as Medicaid, jobs, education, and reparations, are now at stake.”
