Black Power Scorecard-Measuring the Racial Gap & What We Can Do to Close It

Black Power Scorecard, authored by Dr. Andre M. Perry, offers a different lens—one that tracks power through homeownership, health, education, and even joy.

In this month’s Just Communities webinar, Dr. Perry will share what it looks like to measure Black power, and why economic justice isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we collectively organize for. This conversation makes clear: Black power isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now, and its success creates stronger communities for everyone.

Perry will be joined in conversation by Nathaniel Smith, founder and Chief Equity Officer of Partnership for Southern Equity. A child of Southern Freedom Movement activists, Smith brings a legacy of grassroots organizing and policy innovation to his work. From launching the South’s first equity-mapping tool to co-creating the Justice40 Accelerator, Smith has redefined what it means to build power through infrastructure, climate equity, and economic inclusion.

This is a real conversation between two leading voices on equity, power, and what it takes to build systems that center Black futures and collective thriving.
