About the Event
uneteenth is Freedom Day, but Racial Wealth Gaps Persist. A Symposium in NYC.
Join us for a thought-provoking symposium at The Theater Center in NYC as we delve into the ongoing issue of racial wealth gaps, even as we commemorate Juneteenth.
This event is hosted by journalist-academics Louise Story and Ebony Reed who teach on racial wealth gaps at Yale and have a new book out on June 18 called, "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar: How Americans Made the Black-White Wealth Gap." More info on their book here: www.15cents.info
The event will feature a panel of national and local experts discussing why racial wealth gaps are so persistent, who in our country has negative net worth, and what people can do in their own lives to reach across the gap. There will also be a conversation with some key people featured in "Fifteen Cents on the Dollar."
