The City of Winston-Salem has made great strides in several focus areas such as poverty and economic development since 2010, but there is still a lot of work to be done to ensure equity for all citizens.
While anyone can look at these numbers and come to the conclusion that more needs to be done to lift our community out of this hole, it is equally important that we look at the root causes of these issues and uplift programs and organizations that are already doing the work to change the narrative.
The 28th annual Winston-Salem Jaycees Holiday Parade and the Downtown Tree Lighting Ceremony was the perfect kickoff to the beginning of the holiday season.
