LOS ANGELES, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Black Americans still lag behind White Americans when it comes to racial equality across economics, employment, education, health, housing, social justice and civic participation as a new report shows Black people get only 73.9 percent of what their white counterparts enjoy.

The 2022 Equality Index of Black America only enjoys an improvement of 0.2 percentage points from the revised 2020 index of 73.7 percent, according to the annual "State of Black America" report released on Tuesday by the National Urban League, a civil rights organization founded in 1910 and headquartered in New York City.
