The Racial Wealth Gap—Moving to Systemic Solutions

As important as homeownership, business ownership, and higher education are, we must go beyond simply promoting more of each if we want to close the racial wealth gap. In this series, Shelterforce widens the lens on the racial wealth gap and what needs to be done about it.

Shelterforce and Nonprofit Quarterly recently published multi-part series on closing the racial wealth gap, and on May 6, writers from both series took part in a jointly hosted 90-minute webinar on the topic.

The panelists were, from the NPQ series:

Gary Cunningham, CEO of Prosperity Now, a national racial and economic justice nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C.

john a. powell, director of the Othering & Belonging Institute and professor of law, African American, and ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

And from Shelterforce’s series:

Jeremie Greer, co-founder and co-executive director of Liberation in a Generation, an organization incubated by PolicyLink, which is building the power of people of color to transform the economy.

Anne Pricepresident of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, which strives to shift power and agency in economic policy by centering those closest to the problems in developing solutions.

Moderating the panel were Steve Dubb, senior editor at Nonprofit Quarterly, and Shelterforce’s CEO and editor, Miriam Axel-Lute.
