Leadership needs to catch up
Glenwood Glenfest 2011. Greensboro is a city of many colors
The City has moved from a majority white to a minority white city from 2000 to 2010, as revealed by the latest Census data. More than 10,000 are Asian, a category whose number has doubled over the past ten years.
In the next ten years diverse communities should expect to support city and community leadership that reflect these new numbers.
