On Juneteenth we celebrate the end of slavery, acknowledge how much progress still needs to be made, and commit to make that progress. We can’t say that we live in an equal world while White Americans hold 84 percent of total U.S. wealth but make up only 60 percent of the population—while Black Americans hold 4 percent of the wealth and make up 13 percent of the population. Closing the racial wealth gap will take more than promotions and raises (although those are important too), it will take investments in multigenerational wealth. To give the roadmap to that wealth, Nicole passes the mic to investing expert and MNN host Dominique Broadway.
