Black Pennsylvanians have made strides in income, health care, and education over the last decade, but there is still room for improvement, according to a report titled “The State of Black Pennsylvania.”

Released this week by Pennsylvania Democrat state Sen. Art Haywood, the report covers the period from 2010 to 2021 (pdf). It does not compare Pennsylvania’s black and white populations but focuses solely on changes for the state’s black population.
