50 Years Later: The Ongoing Racial Wealth Divide

Toward the end of his life, Martin Luther King Jr. talked as much about economic inequality as he was about racial injustice.  “Now our struggle is for genuine equality, which means economic equality,” King wrote a few weeks before his assassination in 1968.  Where does the nation stand on this issue now, fifty years later?  Dedrick Asante-Muhammad, Senior Fellow for the Racial Wealth Divide Initiative at Prosperity Now, will reflect on the state of economic inequality in the United States and the correlation between race and wealth.  He will discuss the growing racial economic divide.
