«According to the #BrookingsInstitute, homes in Black neighborhoods are valued at 23% less than those in non-Black neighborhoods despite having similar quality and amenities.
Advocates for #Black homeowners say this bias contributes to the #RacialWealthGap because it limits the financial returns of real estate for Black families.»

I have a book about the racial wealth gap that boggled my mind *years* ago.
The Color of Wealth: The Story Behind the U.S. Racial Wealth Divide - by Barbara Robles, Betsy Leondar-Wright, and Rose Brewer
A fantastic primer for folks unfamiliar with the concept, policies, and history in the US.
It also had some great discussion guides.
Disheartening that the US has learned *nothing* since and done even less.

@DeliaChristina this list looks incredible. I have #HowWeGetFree from #KeeangaYamahttaTaylor on my wish list but have mostly only read excerpts from #RaceForProfit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership for research I did at my last job on the history of the #RacialWealthGap
My role was to interrogate how the history of housing and economic development policies in the U.S. shaped health impacts
