WA Commission Surveys Black Men's Public Sector Experiences

The Washington State Commission on African American Affairs has launched a new survey, "Black Men in the Public Sector Workforce: Experience. Barriers. Solutions.," to comprehensively document the professional experiences of African American men in government, education, public service, and the nonprofit sector. This initiative addresses a critical lack of research on their workplace realities, barriers, and necessary support, with the gathered information poised to inform future policy recommendations and cultivate more equitable professional environments. Ed Prince, Executive Director of the Washington State Commission on African American Affairs joins the Rhythm & News podcast to talk about the survey and its purpose. Interview by Chris B. Bennett.
