Michael Bloomberg has so far — Amassed a roster of prominent black surrogates — Traveled to cities with large black populations for policy input — Unveiled proposals on issues central to many black communities

Banks would need to update their credit-scoring requirements while he’d also create a Housing Fairness Commission funded with an initial $10 billion.
Sharpton and others vociferously criticized his criminal justice record when he was mayor, including stop and frisk policing and his stance on five teenagers wrongly convicted of raping a woman in Central Park — now the subject of a documentary that underscores how the law enforcement system impacts young black and Latino men.
