The Truth Series: How We Got Here
Economic Equity
Thursday, July 30, 2020
2:30 pm ET / 1:30 pm CT
This conversation will provide a historical look at the many institutions that have actively created systems that disenfranchise African Americans and denied them the ability to build generational wealth. Exploring the conscious efforts to slow economic growth in African American communities, the panelists will examine the lasting impacts of incidents like the Tulsa Race Massacre, Seneca Village, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898—all of which displaced and destroyed thriving Black communities.
| Featuring:
Angela Glover Blackwell, Founder in Residence, PolicyLink Andre M. Perry, Author, Know Your Price and Fellow, Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings Institution Danyelle Solomon, Vice President, Race and Ethnicity Policy Center for American Progress Nathaniel Smith, Founder and Chief Equity Officer, Partnership for Southern Equity |
The focus of the series is truth, action, and reconciliation—ultimately, putting forward a vision for essential systemic reforms to shape long-term change, with the value of racial and economic equity at its core.
