The State of Black Louisville report is a highly anticipated publication–a collection of essays from engaged stakeholders around the city showing how Black people in Louisville are doing in jobs, justice, education, health, and housing. It offers benchmarks and sources for thought leadership around the improvements and disparities Black people face in these areas.

The report is packed with data, reflective commentary, and insightful analysis from the Louisville community’s leading figures and field experts. The report also includes recommendations and solutions-oriented action items.

The State of Black Louisville is a roadmap to address longstanding inequities and, more importantly, to pave the way for greater progress.

The Louisville Urban League officially releases the report at a release event in February. This interactive event allows report contributors to present their work. Presentations are done TED Talk-style, with one essayist presenting right after the other. Tickets get you into the Release event and the catered reception to follow.
