Blacks in Virginia

Michele Claibourn, a researcher in the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service, Demographics & Workforce Group, recently published "Blacks in Virginia." The report shows that while blacks in Virginia have made significant improvements in education and employment, they are significantly behind their white counterparts.
