A recent Pew study reveals that a majority of Black Americans feel deep distrust towards U.S. institutions due to experiences of racial discrimination. More than 6 in 10 Black adults believe that systems such as the criminal justice, economic, and policing are intentionally designed to hinder Black progress.
