La Desigualdad Economica y sus Raices

por Lawrence Community Works, Lawrence, MA

En 1900, el gran estudiante Africano-Americano W.E.B. DuBois predijo que "el problema del siglo veinte" sería "el problema de la línea de color, "la relación de la desigualdad entre las razas más blancas y más oscuras de la humanidad". Ahora, la división económica entre las personas blancas y las personas de color permanece desastrosamente amplia. Esta "segregación racial económica" no es natural ni tampoco intercambiable.
