Racial Equality

Included in this week’s assignments are arguments that racial inequality, including that within criminal justice and the economy, can’t be remedied by focusing simply on changing people’s attitudes.  They suggest that government policies throughout American history, including current policies, have promoted inequality. What specific policy changes are required to promote greater racial equality in the U.S. today?  Posts are not opinion. They are to be informed by the information and analysis of assigned course material.
