With large community gathering, effort to eliminate racial disparities in Madison goes public

Hundreds of people, including many of Madison’s top business and community leaders, gathered Friday night to hear how a group of influential African-American residents calling themselves the Justified Anger coalition plans to lead a broad-based attack on pronounced racial disparities in the city. … “It’s African-Americans coming together in ways I’ve not seen in my 30-plus years in this community,” Darrell Bazzell, vice chancellor for finance and administration at UW-Madison, told the crowd in his welcome.
