Shawn Rochester, A Brief History of the Black Wealth Gap in America

Dave Ross has been getting emails about the current protests: emails saying that the civil rights movement is behind us, and justice has already been achieved. That things aren't that bad.

Shawn Rochester joins to explain the history of economic inequality in this country as briefly as he possibly can. Rochester is the author of The Black Tax: The Cost of Being Black in America, and CEO and founder of several organizations that provide financial education and advice to empower Black business leaders and consumers.
