Testimonial Category: Why This Is Needed
What’s needed are policies, funding, support systems, programs, and business opportunities that all help to shrink the Black-White wealth gap.
The elevated consciousness around the country on equity and inclusion presents the greatest opportunity to reverse the broken cycle of the Black wealth gap.
Black founders don’t have the same access to funding. Black-owned businesses need structural support and contracts that could help scale growth.
Because of these systems in place, each generation of Black families have had to start over without passing on wealth to the next generation.
Structural and systemic inequalities have deep roots in virtually every type of institution in this country.
We don’t need another study or report to tell us that inequality exists and that Black people do not get the same access to funding and opportunities.
