Here's What Our Twitter Community Had to Say About Black Men and Unemployment

Yesterday, Colorlines hosted a Twitter chat in conjunction with this month’s installment of its Life Cycles of Inequity Series, “Why Young, Black Men Can’t Work.” We invited our online community to weigh in on the issues of long-term unemployment, racial inequity in hiring practices, and disparities in job opportunities between black and white high school graduates. Not only was the discussion lively and insightful, but our hashtag #livesofblackmen even trended nationwide in the states of California, Texas and Minnesota and in the cities of Chicago, DC, Philadelphia and Boston.
