Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Sam Fulwood III was a reporter in Baltimore in the 1980s, and he has kept an eye on the place ever since. In this video column, Sam examines the underlying roots of the discontent in Baltimore, Ferguson, and dozens of other American communities.

Andrew Satter is the Director of Video at the Center for American Progress. Sam Fulwood III is a Senior Fellow at the Center and Director of the CAP Leadership Institute. His work with the Center’s Progress 2050 project examines the impact of policies on the nation when there will be no clear racial or ethnic majority by the year 2050.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.

Public Safety

Protecting people from crime is one of the government’s most fundamental and urgent responsibilities. However, the current reality is that too many crimes go unsolved and too many victims lack justice. The Center for American Progress is committed to advancing evidence-based policies that keep individuals safe by solving crime when it happens, ensuring swift and certain accountability for those who harm others, and preventing crime in the first place.

Racial Equity and Justice

We promote systemic reforms to dismantle structural racial injustices, give everyone an equal opportunity to thrive, and ensure society benefits from our nation’s diversity.
