Welcome to the NAACP Racine Branch Website

The city of Racine has  been designated as one of the nation's worst places for Black people to live, only second to Milwaukee, WI.  Stark racial disparities are seen across many indicators such as unemployment rates, income, home ownership, education, incarceration rates, housing and health outcomes.  Black residents in Racine are experiencing the worst outcomes on all fronts.

We can and must do better to make Racine a good place to live for all of its residents

#BlackProgressIndex

Brookings and NAACP publish the Black Progress Index, a first-of-its-kind analysis of Black life expectancy in U.S. counties and metro areas Washington, D.C. — New landmark data analysis of U.S. counties and metro areas, the Black Progress Index, an interactive dashboard that examines the impact of social and neighborhood conditions on life expectancy in cities and counties across the country. The new data tool is an analysis of the places where Black people are thriving most, as measured through their life expectancy, and is intended to support understanding the well-being of Black people and the conditions that surround their lives. In the spirit of NAACP Co-Founder W.E.B. Du Bois’ novel use of data to identify racial inequity, the Black Progress Index focuses on life expectancy and the “social determinants of health”—such as homeownership rate, education attainment, business ownership rate, and air pollution—to help provide insight into the local civic actions that can improve life expectancy outcomes. Community organizers, elected officials, and researchers can use the interactive dashboard in their work to examine the impact of social and neighborhood conditions in their city and others across the country.
