For every dollar of wealth owned by a single white man, single Black women and Latinas own roughly 9 cents. That gap is stark--and consequential. Wealth is commonly understood as people's assets minus their debts, or, in other words, their total available resources. People need wealth to cope with unexpected moments in the present, like a... |

WHAT IF CRITICAL RACE THEORY WERE JUST A LEGAL THEORY? A CHRISTIAN CRITIQUE |
