What We're Reading in November

 

We can't change the South's past, but let's make all Southerners part of its future

This article written by John Simpkins, President of MDC in Durham. MDC is a nonprofit that works with community leaders to create systemic change throughout the South.

We're thinking about the role we have in advocating for all people who want to transform their lives and gain stability to have access to opportunities to do so.

"Taking on this challenge in the South also means dismantling a mindset that low-wage jobs and underinvestment in human potential represent the best approach to economic development."

What does real and lasting change look like in our community?
