Community Engagement
Addressing the needs and interests of our communities locally, statewide, nationally and internationally.
Like many major metropolitan areas in the United States, the city of Louisville has an urban core that has experienced decades of economic and social disinvestment that began during the middle of the 20th century. The heart of Louisville’s urban core, west Louisville, is home to more than 60,000 residents, the majority of whom are African Americans. West Louisville residents experience educational, health, economic and social disparities as can be found in many other urban communities. Although west Louisville suffers from a high rate of poverty and is economically challenged, it is a community of nine historic neighborhoods whose residents take pride in their schools, churches, parks and other community assets.
