  • The Racial Generation Gap and the Future for Our Children
    The Racial Generation Gap and the Future for Our Children Bruce Lesley, President | January 2016 1110 Vermont Avenue NW, Suite 900 | Washington, DC 20005 | 202.657.0670 | www.firstfocus.org Introduction Children are not faring well in America. Over the course of the two-year presidential campaign cycle that is well underway, eight million children will be born in this country. If our nation’s elected leaders do nothing, more than 75,000 of those children born in this country below the age of 2 will be abused or neglected, over 500,000 will be uninsured, and nearly two million will live in poverty — a disadvantage that research has shown to have lifelong negative consequences for their education, income, health, and well-being. Despite the fact that the public recognizes these problems, is deeply concerned about the future for children, and opposes cutting public investments in children’s programs such as education, early childhood, child health, and efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect,1 the federal share of spending dedicated to children continues to decline and is now less than 8 percent of the federal budget.2 In fact, children have absorbed a disproportionate share of budget cuts to address the federal budget deficit, a problem that children did not create. Consequently, the future for our nation’s children and our nation stands at a crossroads. Congress has set a budgetary course that would lead to further declines in the federal share of funding dedicated to children. As the Urban Institute has found, congressional gridlock would lead to deep reductions in important investments in our nation’s children over the next decade and, without change from the current budget course, the drop in the share of federal funding dedicated to children could be substantial.

    Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Performing Arts Workforce Edited by Tobie S. Stein First published 2020 ISBN 13: 978-1-138-18845-7 (hbk) ISBN 13: 978-1-315-64231-4 (ebk) Chapter 1 Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Performing Arts Workforce Tobie S. Stein CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 1 Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the Performing Arts Workforce Diversity in the Performing Arts Workforce Diversity in the Performing Arts Workforce I define workforce diversity as an environment where people regardless of race, class, color, and gender all have the equal opportunity to be self- supporting, self-sustained artists. Black respondent, Workforce Diversity study Introduction Workforce diversity, for the purposes of this study and book, is defined as racial and ethnic diversity among performing arts workforce participants and stakeholders, including employees, artists, board members, donors, audience members, educators, and community partners. Racial and ethnic workforce diversity is an inclusive term. It encom- passes the leadership process and organizational collective and collab- orative management practice of valuing and intentionally recognizing, including, and affirming the representation and engagement of a work- force with a multiplicity of cultural identities, experiences, perspectives, and traditions at every organizational level in the workplace, reflecting the entire community.1 According to scholar Antonio C. Cuyler, racial and ethnic workforce diversity is part of a quartet that includes racial and ethnic access, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI). Together these intersecting practices embody creative justice or the manifestation of all people living creative and expressive lives on their own terms.2 In achieving racial and ethnic access, the historically White performing arts workforce tackles and removes structural access barriers for under- represented groups found in the career pathway and in recruitment and retention practices.

  • A Pivotal Period for Race in America 1
    A Pivotal Period for Race in America 1 America reached an important milestone in 2011. That occurred when, for the first time in the history of the country, more minority babies than white babies were born in a year.1 Soon, most children will be racial minorities: Hispanics, blacks, Asians, and other nonwhite races. And, in about three decades, whites will constitute a minority of all Americans (see figure 1-1). This milestone signals the beginning of a transformation from the mostly white baby boom culture that dominated the nation during the last half of the twentieth century to the more globalized, multiracial country that the United States is becoming. Certainly in the past, the specter of a “minority white” nation instilled fear among some Americans, and to some extent it continues to do so today—fear of change, fear of losing privileged status, or fear of unwanted groups in their communities. These fears were especially evident during the decades following World War II, when immigration was low and phrases such as “invasion,” “blockbusting,” and “white flight” were 1 2 A PIVOTAL PERIOD FOR RACE IN AMERICA FIGURE 1.1 U.S. White and Minority Populations, 1970–2050 Millions 225 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Whites Minorities Source: U.S. censuses and Census Bureau projections, various years. commonly used in the context of black-white segregation. Such fears are evident today in the public backlashes that sometimes occur against more permissive immigration and voter registration laws. Yet if demography is truly destiny, then these fears of a more racially diverse nation will almost certainly dissipate.

OBJECTIVE We describe shifts in diversity magnitude and structure from 1980 through 2015 to determine if states are following a universal upward path. METHODS Decennial census data for 1980‒2010 and American Community Survey data for 2015 are used to compute entropy index (E) and Simpson index (S) measures of diversity magnitude based on five panethnic populations.

    The Role of Places in Shaping Metropolitan Diversity: Decomposing Change Across Space and Over Time Christopher S. Fowler, Barrett A. Lee, and Stephen A. Matthews Population Research Institute The Pennsylvania State University Abstract Metropolitan level diversity has increased since 1980, and the main contours of diversity appear reasonably consistent across geographic scales. However, diversity looks different in Buffalo than it does in Dallas, and the role played by diverse principal cities during the period of interest is quite different from the role played by segregated White suburbs. Our decomposition of diversity within metropolitan areas indicates that, while principal cities continue to influence the overall diversity of metro areas, their impact is declining. In fact, principal cities have often become less diverse since 1980, while near-in places have seen substantial increases in diversity during the same period. We also document the diminishing contribution of places with substantial White majorities to overall metropolitan segregation. In contrast, the increased contribution of majority Black places and majority Hispanic places is troubling. So is the fact that a closer look at individual metro areas like Seattle and Chicago reveals the continued development of White suburbs between 1980 and 2010. The patterns we observe are quite complex and suggest a need for further analysis of the spatial and scalar processes driving changes in diversity within and between metropolitan areas. Introduction As the title of a recent book aptly puts it, an ethnoracial ‘diversity explosion’ is underway in the United States (Frey 2014). The rapid growth of minority groups via immigration, natural increase, intermarriage, and related processes has boosted the proportional representation of Asians and especially Hispanics while reducing White demographic dominance.
