Money Talks: African-American Economic Summit
Tuesday, October 27 2009
by Janet Babin and Katy Barron
This weekend, scholars from around the country will gather at UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke universities to talk about the current recession and its impact on African-Americans. In advance of the summit, guest host Janet Babin unpacks why the current economic contraction has deepened long-standing racial gaps in income and wealth. Guests include: Robynn Cox, a post-doctoral associate at Duke; Andrea Harris, President of the North Carolina Institute of Minority Economic Development; and Darrick Hamilton, assistant professor at Milano – The New School for Management and Urban Policy.
