The Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative
Unleashing the potential o all Americans to generate economic growth and laythe oundation or American competitiveness in the global marketplace requiresclosing the gap in economic security and mobility that exists between people
o color and whites. Today, while the median income or a amily o color isabout 70 percent o the income o a white amily, the average family of colorowns only 16 cents of wealth compared to the average white familys
dollar. Wealth, what you own minus what you owe, allows people to start abusiness, buy a home, send children to college, and ensure an economicallysecure retirement. Wealth is what allows amilies to weather the inevitableeconomic ups and downs o lie, provides them opportunities or innovationand entrepreneurship, and enables them to move up the social and economicladder.
The Insight Centers Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative is educating policy
makers about the magnitude o the racial wealth gap and why it is important orthe economy as a whole to close it, providing the media with experts who canspeak on the important economic issues o the day, and developing solutions toclose Americas racial wealth gap or the next generation.
