Black US voting ‘bloc’ composed of five distinct political groups, survey finds

Identifying clusters of Black voters and their motivations can help tailor voter engagement strategies, organizers say

These clusters indicate that there are incredible differences within the Black community, in terms of how people think about democracy and their role in our democracy," said Katrina Gamble, CEO of Sojourn Strategies during a press conference on Wednesday,
