AA groups reach out to minorities at Minnesota convention
At the Minneapolis AA convention a Latino, Black, and White mix discussed whether outreach to minorities is growing. A 1998 survey showed 88 percent of members were white, with 5 percent Black and 4 percent Hispanic. Speakers emphasized inclusivity, shared addiction as common ground, and the need for newcomers to feel welcome, even if it means waiting for the right group.
