Professor Mehrsa Baradaran, University of California, Irvine School of Law is author of The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap, which makes clear that housing segregation, racism, Jim Crow, redlining and other public policies created and maintain an inescapable, but hard to detect, economic trap for Black communities. She makes clear that only bolder, more realistic public policy changes will end the cycle of poverty and promote black wealth. Professor Baradaran will be interviewed live by Karen Hunter, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and host of The Karen Hunter Show on Sirius XM Urban View.
“We are excited to have Professor Baradaran join the OneTransaction Conference to provide an important framework for our discussion on the racial wealth gap,” says Teri Williams, President & COO of OneUnited Bank. “We need to dispel the myths of why the racial wealth gap exists and promote significant changes in public policy to close it.”
