The St. Petersburg renaissance has been in full swing for more than a decade. We’ve excelled in many areas and struggled in others. In our series St. Pete 2.0, we’re partnering with the St. Pete Catalyst to explore what lies on the other side of our potential – what will it take to move to the “next level” as a city? Through this series, we’ll dig into specific topics with the hope that you, our thoughtful citizens, will share your insight, experience and wisdom.
St. Petersburg, like many cities across the United States, is still coming to terms with a painful history of systemic racism and injustice. With the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor shining a spotlight on these issues, the need for change has never been greater, but it will take the collective efforts of everyone in the community to ensure that St. Pete can move toward a more equitable future for all its residents.
In February 2020, we asked Catalyst readers to suggest ways our city could work to overcome systemic racism as part of our St. Pete 2.0 series. Now, after a year when race has been at the forefront of so many of our conversations, we wanted to learn what – if anything – has changed in the community in terms of racial equity. We also wanted to hear your ideas on concrete measures for promoting and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion in St. Pete.
