Summary: Race and Wealth and The Color of Entrepreneurship In this episode of the Race and Wealth podcast, our host Dedrick Asante-Muhammad and new Racial Wealth Divide Initiative senior program manager Kylie Patterson sit down with Algernon Austin of the Center for Global Policy Solutions. The interview starts with a discussion about how the African-American poverty rate has been cut in half over the last 50 years during times of great and growing inequality. The conversation then moves to its central topic, the new report, "The Color of Entrepreneurship: Why the Racial Gap Among Firms Costs the U.S. Billions." Finally, the conversation ends with a discussion of the annual Color of Wealth Summit and a brief reflection on Donald Trump as the Republican nominee as a follow up to our previous podcast, “Race and Wealth in the U.S. Elections.” Here is a link to the graph referenced in this episode- http://bit.ly/1V7t8D7 You can contact Dedrick Asante-Muhammad through Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dedrickm1 You can find Algernon Austin at http://www.algernonaustin.com/ The Center for Global Policy Solutions at http://globalpolicysolutions.com/ Algernon Austin's new report at http://globalpolicysolutions.org/report/color-entrepreneurship-racial-gap-among-firms-costs-u-s-billions/ For more information on the Color of Wealth Summit, please visit http://globalpolicysolutions.org/2016-color-of-wealth-summit/ Please visit SCORE- http://www.score.org Other articles referenced in the episode: Locked Out of the Market- http://greenlining.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/HMDA-InteriorCover-to-post-spreads.pdf Responsible Banking the Twin Cities- https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B2L0_Tafp1oBTVFJMEtZc2M3QzQ&usp=drive_web# Please remember to rate, comment, and subscribe to the Race and Wealth Podcast on Itunes, SoundCloud and Stitcher Radio.
