United for a Fair Economy
Why is it that 40 years after Civil Rights laws outlawed discrimination, people of color still have only 18 cents for every white dollar of wealth? United for a Fair Economy’s newest book exposes the astonishingly decisive role of federal policies in creating a racial economic hierarchy.
IT’S MORE THAN A BOOK!
The Color of Wealth is just one part of our educational program on the racial dimensions of our growing economic divide.
