Nwachu & Knott: How social entrepreneurs are changing Baltimore for the better

The economic news couldn’t be better, right? U.S. employers added 559,000 jobs in May and the unemployment rate is falling.

This is great news for cities hard hit by the pandemic. But Baltimore can’t just return to the pre-pandemic status quo of declining population and staggering inequality and hope for the best.
