Kellogg Foundation Commits $75M To Combat Racial Inequality: WASHINGTON – The Kellogg Foundation has inaugurated an ambitious nationwide campaign to combat racial and ethnic inequality with a five-year, $75 million commitment to award grants to support organizations working to fight racism.At their news conference in Washington, D.C., Kellogg officials on Tuesday challenged the tendency of Americans to identify post-racial progress with statistics that instead demonstrate the pervasive disparities between Whites and racial minorities in nearly every social and economic indicator.
“Far too many vulnerable children still grow up in profoundly limited opportunities to succeed because of the damaging effects of long-term racial and ethnic discrimination,” said Fred Keller, trustee of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. “They face the effects of structural racism in every aspect of their lives.”
