Did you know only ~1/3 of Americans have a passport and only 21% of American adults with a household income under $50k have a valid passport? According to the Black Progress Index, a product of The Brookings Institution and NAACP the median household income for a black family is $44,139. Diplomatic Perspective is working to increase the number of black passport holders starting with our youth!
