The Color of Money
Show Notes

This month Mehrsa Baradaran, author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap and associate dean of strategic initiatives at the University of Georgia School of Law, joined Maurice A. Jones and Imani Darden from our Knowledge Management team to discuss the history of the racial wealth gap and its impact on economic prosperity for communities of color. The conversation explores the viability of entrepreneurship and business ownership in the context of this history and the role of the industry at large in pushing for economic justice.
