THE AGE OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
NEW YORK – Carlos Clanton,
National Urban League Young
Professionals (NULYP) president
provides words of encouragement for
young professionals who may be living
with intense uncertainty in the current
political climate. In a recent blog post,
he answered the question “what now?”
Clanton draws upon the strength of
leaders from previous eras and provides
insights for action steps Millennials
and Generation Z can take now to move
forward.
“We have always been a people who
are resilient, and we will survive. Survival
in this era will entail applying lessons
demonstrated by Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. and Whitney M. Young. These leaders
achieved great accomplishments because
they worked together,” said Clanton.
“Young professionals now can do the same.
We have garnered the attention of the
nation through our actions in Ferguson
and beyond….We must be diligent about
knowing and sharing the facts of our
Movement. We must continue to be vocal.
This is not a time to be silent,” he said.
The National Urban League, rooted
in social justice, has been fighting for
more than 100 years to ensure equal
jobs, housing, education and health for
all. Through NULYP membership, active
voting participation and mutual support,
Clanton reminds young professionals of
their power to continue to fight for equality
for all. Black PR Wire
