NEW MEXICO FALLS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST ON A LOT OF STUDIES, BUT IT’S DONE PARTICULARLY WELL IN A WALLET HUB STUDY OF RACIAL INTEGRATION AND RACIAL PROGRESS. WALLET HUB ANALYST JILL GONZALEZ TELLS US NEW MEXICO IS 2ND IN THE NATION FOR MOST RACIAL INTEGRATION AND 4TH OF RACIAL PROGRESS.
SHE SAYS THE STATE HAS MADE GOOD PROGRESS SINCE THE 1970S. SHE POINTS TO GRADES IN EDUCATION AND HOME OWNERSHIP TO SEE THE PROGRESS.
THE STUDY LOOKS AT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLACKS AND WHITE IN LIGHT OF THE HIGH-PROFILE POLICE BRUTALITY THAT SPARKED THE “BLACK LIVES MATTER” MOVEMENT LAST YEAR.
