  • What is the racial wealth gap?
    Systemic racism and deeply ingrained laws, policies and prejudices have prohibited people of color from owning property, gaining access to jobs, receiving a quality education, etc. The historical inequality has led to a massive gap in wealth between Black and white households. White households have 10x the wealth as Black households in the US. See here for more information.
