On July 4, The Philadelphia Inquirer launched A More Perfect Union, a yearlong reporting project examining how institutions founded in Philadelphia have contributed to systemic racism and prospective solutions ahead.

A More Perfect Union is led by Inquirer contributing editor Errin Haines, who is also editor-at-large of The 19th and a member of The Lenfest Institute’s Board of Managers.

The Lenfest Institute is supporting the project through a grant to The Inquirer.
