Group seeks to shrink digital divide - JOY-ANN REID, South Florida Times
Keeping high-speed Internet access available and affordable to people of color in the U.S. is the goal of a national initiative that launches in Miami on May 7. The study, by Jabari Simama, president of community development at Benedict College and the director of the college’s Center for Excellence in Community Development, notes significant gains by black and Hispanic Americans in closing the so-called digital divide. More blacks and Hispanics have gained access to the Internet, Simama said, but the study calls those gains “fragile,” and the ADE hopes to build a nationwide consensus around expanding high-speed Internet access in minority communities.
