December 14 – The Future Reset: Closing the Racial Wealth Gap
The typical Black family in the United States has just one-tenth the wealth of the typical White one. This consequential inequality persists despite continued efforts by Black Americans to build wealth throughout the country’s history. This discrimination has had cumulative, multi-generational consequences that directly impact inheritance. But it also profoundly affects education, employment, income, and health. Washington Post Live brings together prominent thought leaders and scholars to discuss the complex and intersectional factors that have allowed the Black-White wealth gap to endure and identify remedies – both cultural and policy-based – that address racial wealth inequality today. The event will take place on Monday, December 14 at 2 p.m. EST.
