NEW ORLEANS (AP) — An organization founded by former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has re-launched a fellowship program to help elected leaders in the South promote racial and economic equity.
Applications opened Monday for the UNUM Fellows program, a project of Landrieu’s E Pluribus Unum organization.
The UNUM Fellows program had been put on hold after a March opening due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Among the program’s aims, according to a news release from the organization, is to help participating leaders gain insights into structural racism and develop projects to promote and sustain economic equity.
