While Trump and many other Republicans are celebrating the passage, the map faces its […]

Jamal Bryant is advocating for more than just the rehabilitation of DEI initiatives at Target. During a recent panel discussion with Symone Sanders at the NAACP’s 116th national convention, Pastor Bryant stressed to audiences that the Trump administration’s rapid changes to immigration policies impact Black communities just as much as they can impact Hispanic communities.  “We have been deluded into believing that immigration is a Latino and Mexican issue,” he said. “There are 500,000 Haitians [who] are unprotected, 250,000 Jamaicans […]
