Time Magazine has named Dedrick Asante-Muhammad to its first annual “The Closers” list of the nation’s leading thinkers and activists tackling issues of racial economic inequality. Asante-Muhammad, who serves as Vice President for Racial Economic Equity and Research at the National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC), has for decades produced leading-edge research and policy analysis on how the United States has failed to provide Black America with the opportunity to succeed and how policymakers can best correct that failure.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Dedrick is one of the economic justice movement’s brightest lights and this kind of recognition is long overdue,” said Jesse Van Tol, NCRC President and CEO. “Dedrick’s <\/span>work is invaluable to our<\/span> entire effort to build the just economy. I’m proud to see that truth getting the prominence it deserves from an outlet like Time Magazine.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent highlights from Asante-Muhammad’s vast body of work include the report “<\/span>Still A Dream: Over 500 Years to Black Economic Equity<\/span><\/a>,” co-authored with the Institute for Policy Studies’ Chuck Collins and others, and a case study of race-conscious urban planning in Maryland titled “<\/span>Columbia at 55: Creeping Segregation and Lack of Affordable Housing Threatens a Legacy of Black\/White Integration<\/span><\/a>.”<\/span><\/p>\n
