Time & Location

Boise, 610 Julia Davis Dr, Boise, ID 83702, USA
About the Event
Why is today’s racial wealth gap so stark? Why is it growing? There are a lot of theories that attempt to explain the racial wealth gap. But in nearly all of them, housing is key. If lower and middle income families are boxed out of homeownership, accruing intergenerational wealth is unlikely, and a host of negative consequences follow. This panel explores the history of racial housing discrimination in Idaho and a few efforts to address it.
Speakers:
Senator Melissa Wintrow
McKay Cunningham, College of Idaho
Student Representatives from the Redline Research Team, College of Idaho
The panel will be moderated by City Club board member Latonia Haney Keith.
