Hard Facts Update

Race and Ethnicity in the Nine-County Greater Rochester Area

In August 2020, ACT Rochester and Rochester Area Community Foundation released an updated report that documents how the status of African Americans and Latinos in the entire nine-county Rochester region significantly lags their counterparts in New York State and nationwide.

“Hard Facts Update: Race and Ethnicity in the Nine-County Greater Rochester Area” examines the substantial gaps in educational and economic outcomes among persons of different racial and ethnic backgrounds.

New in this report are ideas and resources to stimulate conversations leading to fuller understanding and community action – a process for community change -  three suggested levels of learning supported by a PowerPoint Slide Presentation.
