“Lima in Black and White” is an eight-day series that begins a discussion about the stark differences between Lima’s black and white populations when it comes to income levels, jobless rates, poverty levels, crime rates and education attainment.
The disparities were cited last fall in a study done by 24/7 Wall St., an internet financial research company. It rated Lima No. 7 among the Top 10 worst cities for blacks.
The series looks at why the disparities exist and what can be done about them.
