The Supreme Court’s recent decision to strike down affirmative action is effectively “undoing all of our rights,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday on a panel featuring six Black mayors at the Global Black Economic Forum in New Orleans.
It’s imperative that the nation addresses the inequities within the US educational system because it’s the primary foundation for circumventing unemployment, homelessness and violence later down the road, Adams said on a panel joined by Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Cleveland’s Justin Bibb, New Orleans’ LaToya Cantrell and Los Angeles’ Karen Bass.
