“Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on.”

Mehrsa Baradaran

The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap

“We might want to apply the following short litmus tests to any policy proposal: does the program require some collective sacrifice, or does it place the burden of closing the wealth gap entirely on the black community? If the latter, this is a cop-out that refuses to acknowledge that the black community did not create the problem in the first place.”

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“America’s 400 richest billionaires now have as much wealth as the nation’s entire African-American population – over 14 million households.”

Steven Rattner

“The weak economy, widening income inequality, gridlock in Congress and a presidential election: Those were perhaps the dominant economic and political themes of 2012.”
