Racial Equity and Inclusion

The future success of our nation depends on our ability to ensure all children have the chance to be successful. Yet, in the United States today, racial inequities remain deep, systemic and stubbornly persistent, and children of color lack the opportunities and support that they need to thrive.

Some examples: Compared to the average kid, African American children are significantly more likely to live in single-parent families and high-poverty neighborhoods. American Indian kids are almost three times as likely to lack health insurance and more than twice as likely to live in neighborhoods with more limited resources. And Latino children are most likely to miss out on early childhood education and to live in a household led by someone who lacks a high school diploma.
