“@Wyclef may not have been born in #Newark, but we claim him as one of our own.” - @ShaneTHarris at the @Prudential / @PruCenter mural unveiling with @wyclef himself, Mayor @rasjbaraka and so many others! Amazing turn out and a beautiful new green space in the West Ward.
We absolutely agree. We want all #Newark residents to have access to critical digital tools. Access to the internet means access to employment and educational opportunities. That’s why @Prudential is investing in the infrastructure to bring technology to all Newark residents.
That time @RasJBaraka shut down reporter who asked question steeped in old misconceptions about @CityofNewarkNJ. He'd probably hate my saying it, but I was proud. "Tech has to be used to help everybody ... not just the people across the street at Prudential." Our story tomorrow
Proud @Prudential is continuing our support of Opportunity Youth by partnering w/@AspenInstitute on the Global Opportunity Youth Initiative. This initiative will help increase jobs & livelihoods for the more than 350 million young people. #GYEO#YouthEO https://t.co/wMyH1Uivm1
Congratulations to the 2018 class of #AileyCamp#Newark! @Prudential partnered with #Ailey to bring the camp to Newark in 2011 & these performances are never short of amazing & inspiring every year!
El Paso was facing a big challenge – create more career opportunities in order to keep residents from leaving. @Prudential saw that challenge and found a way to help solve it.
Today Emmett Till would have been 77 years old. He was kidnapped and killed at 14 for accusations of crossing the "color line" in 1955 Mississippi. #ANationsStory
Touring the City of Hope exhibition @amhistorymuseum was a great start to the @NMAAHC Clem Price lecture series exploring the economic conditions and civil unrest that inspired MLK to create his last campaign to confront economic inequality. #CityOfHope1968
Wealth is not helping black folks get access to those neighborhoods with all the amenities we want. Housing continues to be the most intimate experience - @nhannahjones#CityOfHope1968
.@peterbedelman just gave me life with #FalseFacts. Such an excellent representation of how we remain in a whirlwind of mess, leave out critical pieces of history, deny that racism & capitalism are inextricably intertwined in America & pit people a/ one another. #cityofhope1968
All inequality today has roots in where you live. Black communities - regardless of income - experience challenges in various quality of life issues — @nhannahjones#CityOfHope1968
