In this episode of Dana with the Data, we sit down with Andre Barnes, External Relations Manager at NumbersUSA, to uncover the forgotten story of Barbara Jordan’s immigration commission and how it could have changed the trajectory of Black economic advancement in America.
Andre breaks down how Barbara Jordan’s 1990s proposal for a work-centered immigration framework was designed to protect vulnerable American workers — and how corporate lobbying buried her policies after her death. We dive into the real history behind Black Wall Street, the 1992 LA Riots, the Great Migration, and how decades of immigration policy have shaped Black employment in America.
Andre Barnes is the External Relations Manager at NumbersUSA, an organization founded by Roy Beck that has been advocating for balanced immigration policy for nearly 30 years. NumbersUSA connects communities with the historical data on how immigration numbers — not immigrants themselves — impact American workers, especially the most vulnerable.
