Two years ago, the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga released its first-ever “State of Black Chattanooga” report.
It detailed the conditions for African-Americans in this city and Hamilton County - to provide, quote, “a holistic picture” on disparities in economics, health, education and civic involvement.
Earlier this year came the second edition of the report.
Where do things stand now - and where might they be heading?
The honorary co-chairs for this year’s “State of Black Chattanooga” report are Katherlyn Geter, former Hamilton County Commissioner and a community advocate - and Pastor William Terry Ladd III of First Baptist Church, also on the Urban League’s Board of Directors.
