The racial wealth gap in our country dates back to enslavement, when white America built its economy (and wealth) with the free labor of people who had been kidnapped and enslaved and when Indigenous People were forced and displaced from their land, which was a tremendous loss of community wealth.

I didn't learn about most of this important history in school and I can only include a small glimpse in this book. To better understand the true scope of how policy after policy excluded and exploited BIPOC communities, I've included more resources in the Financial Adulting toolkit.
