When my campaign ended in March, I was not willing to walk away from the principles behind our Greenwood Initia tive. They are too important. And so Bloomberg Philan thropies hired campaign staff members who developed the initiative to explore ways we could bring some of its ideas to life through our founda tion. We are focusing on three main areas where racial eq uity is so lacking: financial equity, including housing and small-business ownership; social equity, including ac cess to quality and affordable education, and strengthening historically Black colleges and universities; and civic equity, including voter rights and access to the ballot.

Our work developing the Greenwood Initiative is continuing, with the help of Black leaders in every sec tor, and we are now more resolved — and optimistic — than ever. The uprising that has happened in communities across the country has been a powerful testament to just how hungry Americans of all colors are for leadership on issues of racial justice and equality. Change can’t wait for the next president and Congress.

So even as Trump straps his political life to the backs of Confederates and segrega tionists, something good can come of his visit to Tulsa — if more Americans talk about Greenwood and the injustices it represents, and if we turn that dialogue into concrete actions in our own lives and communities, including exer cising our power at the voting booth.

That’s the path we must walk, together, to finally re deem the true promise of Juneteenth.
