About the Author

From community gatherings in small churches to White House councils, Joseph Hudson has spent more than 40 years helping rural and urban black communities redefine themselves as important to the modern world. CITIworks and the 5% Solution Strategy is an expression of his heart-felt commitment for the advance and success of the black community. Mr. Hudson believes the key to fulfilling his life's dream of raising the quality of life for black people lies in collaboration and planning, which he is convinced will eventually bring about much-needed cooperation and long-awaited recognition. He continues his work in this area today and is actively seeking to help black communities find their voice and become a valuable resource to American cities.
