What does it truly take to dismantle structural racism and redefine economic justice in America?
On this episode of Corey’s Corner, retired NYPD executive Corey Pegues sits down with Jennifer Jones Austin CEO of the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, faith leader, attorney, and one of the most influential voices in racial and economic equity today.
