NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS PRESIDENT ENCOURAGES YOUNG PROFESSIONALS OF COLOR IN

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
