| Webinar: Black Neighborhoods: What they tell us about racial equity | |||||||||||||
| Tuesday, February 23 | 6-7:30pm CST | Register Here | |||||||||||||
| As of 2016, the average Black American family had total wealth of $17,600—about one-tenth the wealth of the average White American family, which stands at $171,000. This gap leaves many Black families at a significant economic disadvantage, with less financial security and less ability to fully participate in the economy. Less wealth also means Black Americans are underrepresented in the market for financial products and services. Andre Perry will highlight the structures creating persistent racial wealth gaps in American’s cities. Andre Perry is a Fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings, a scholar-in-residence at American University and a columnist for the Hechinger Report. A nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality and education, he is a regular contributor to MSNBC and has been published by The New York Times, The Nation, Washington Post, TheRoot.com and CNN.com. Perry has also made appearances on CNN, PBS, National Public Radio, NBC and ABC. His research focuses on race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion. This lecture is co- sponsored by Access and Multicultural Engagement in the Gies Business Office of Undergraduate Affairs and by the Gies College of Business Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. | |||||||||||||
