Dr. Humphrey will share her work with Pittsburgh Black Collective, a group of local African American leaders who are committed to improving local conditions that undermine the poor: affordable housing, closing the wealth gap, equity in education, improved healthcare, and diminished violence. She will describe the lens through which the Collective views the problems and ways to make real progress in overcoming them. She will also invite APP accompaniment and support as allies in these efforts by memberships, financial support, and political action.
