Principally among these is economic status. Wealth positively correlates with health. As listeners are, or should be, well aware 250 fifty years of slavery and a century and a half of institutionalized racism has resulted in median black household net worth equal to one-tenth that of median white household net worth - due, in part, to blacks having comparative lower rates of upward mobility and higher rates of downward mobility. (Even white high school dropouts accumulate more wealth than Black college graduates.) This past October...2020-12-1041 min

Could Reparations Fix Our Economy? Professor William Darity SpeaksAmerican society is in shambles with crime, violence and poverty across the land, largely because the country was launched with an economic system based on forced free labor from a large group of people, who, in order to continue to produce wealth for a small few, had to be denied education and restricted from movement out of confined areas. Can this broken system be fixed? The national movement for Reparations continues, as many gather to strategize on how to extract the financial resources from the nation and distribute them to the previously deprived. Many believe that America will never heal the...2019-02-202h 00
