"The Economic Status of African Americans"
a lecture in three parts

Part I (4/18/17):
The Economic Status of African Americans – How Will It Change Under the 45th President?

This lecture will look at the basic data defining the economic status of African Americans (unemployment, income, wealth, educational status) and ways it may change given this administrations priorities (deregulation, altered health care, shrinking government).

Part II (4/19/17):
The Wealth Gap and the Case for Reparations

This lecture will do a “deep dive” into wealth disparities, and also look at them over time. It will also look at key periods in our nation’s history when African American exclusion contributed to the contemporary wealth gap, and why, then, we must make a case for reparations. Finally, this lecture will consider the forms reparations might take.

Part III (4/20/17):
Race, Class, and Predatory Capitalism

Predatory capitalism is the primary contributor to economic inequality. This lecture will explore the intersection of race, class, gender and predatory capitalism and look at the ways that some groups experience economic challenges because of predatory capitalism.
