Columns About Race Inequality and Social Justice

Erik wrote a series of four columns about strategies for addressing racial inequality and achieving social justice in the U.S. These columns in large part were inspired by his service for 22 months as the Interim Director of Research and Evaluation at the Center for Urban Families on the west side of Baltimore, Maryland.
