Every discussion of racial inequality must also include discussing racial achievement and the gap in racial income in the United States. Racism and discrimination have choked economic opportunity for African Americans at nearly every turn. At several historical moments, the trajectory of racial inequality could have been altered dramatically. Today, systematic inequality persists in housing discrimination, unequal education, police brutality, mass incarceration, employment discrimination, and massive wealth and opportunity gaps. Please join us for a panel discussion with some of the preeminent scholars and artists to examine the root(s) of racial inequality and ways to overcome these issues moving forward.

Invited panel:

Andre Perry, author "Know Your Price - Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities"

Kirsten Mullen and Dr. William Darity Jr. - "From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century"

KRS One, Hip Hop Artist, author and lecturer
