Highlights from Day 8
"At the end of the day, what we learned is that rural matters and Black-led organizations matter.” -Felecia Lucky, Black Belt Community Foundation
“Black families have 1/10 of the wealth of White families. Latino families have 1/8 of the wealth of White families. The Black homeownership rate is the same as it was in 1898. When people think about how they are going to send their kids to college, one of the first things they think about is their home equity.” -Ashley Harrington, Center for Responsible Lending
"We were building more than 400,000 affordable units in the 70s. We are building only about 60,000 affordable units now." -Ed Gorman, NCRC
