The Myth That Made Us: How False Beliefs About Racism and Meritocracy Broke Our Economy (And How To Fix It)

February 27 @ 5:30 PM PST

The Myth That Made Us How False Beliefs About Racism And Meritocracy Broke Our Economy (And How To Fix It)

Join author Jeffrey Fuhrer, whose 27 years’ experience at the Boston Fed informed his breakthrough expose about how false narratives about racism and meritocracy broke our economy. He argues that systemic racism continues to produce vastly disparate outcomes, and that our brand of capitalism doesn’t reduce disparities.

Jeffrey will be joined in conversation by Akilah Monifa, a trained lawyer and law professor, who’s published many op-eds. She is the former director of public affairs and communications for CBS television and radio stations in San Francisco. She is now a retired Black lesbian mother and grandmother, and is the founder of BlackHistoryEveryDay.com.
