Despite improvements in education, social mobility and many other critical areas, large racial and ethnic disparities still exist in the U.S. Years of intentional government policies that removed lands and resources from Native Americans and restricted access for African Americans have created a significant wealth divide in the country that continues to create inequities faced today. This panel will explore how policies and environmental issues disenfranchised the very groups they should equalize.
