Growing economic inequality in the United States is drawing bolder lines between winners and losers, underscoring deepening inequities impacting people of color and communities that have suffered from generations of disinvestment and structural barriers to wealth creation.
Join social innovators who are working to close the racial wealth gap in the U.S. and learn what you can do to tell the more comprehensive story about the American economy and those it excludes.
