One of the Covid-19 pandemic’s many impacts on society has been to shine a light on longstanding racial disparities and other social inequalities and make them impossible to ignore. How has the pandemic deepened our understanding of racial inequality in Milwaukee? How should we act on this information? Our distinguished panel of political and civic leaders will offer their thoughts on these and other important questions.
