ABA presents The Color Tax: Origins of the Modern Day Racial Wealth Gap - Crowdcast

The Color Tax: Origins of the Modern-Day Racial Wealth Gap
February 16, 2-3PM CST

The ABA Coalition on Racial and Ethnic Justice, in partnership with the ABA Sections on Civil Rights and Social Justice, Real Property Trust and Estates, and State and Local Government will present a webinar featuring The Color Tax: The Origins of the Modern-Day Racial Wealth Gap.

The Color Tax: Origins of the Modern-Day Racial Wealth Gap, is Episode 3 of the five-part documentary series, Shame of Chicago. The Color Tax tells the story of how a system of predatory home contract sales during the 1950s and 60s plundered enormous sums of wealth from black families seeking the American dream of homeownership. In a compelling narrative format, The Color Tax documents who peddled the contracts, how and why they were allowed to do it, and what happened when black families organized to fight back, in one of Chicago’s most heart-wrenching and perilous campaigns for racial and economic justice.

While the film focuses on these practices in Chicago, we imagine a program that broadens the discussion beyond Chicago’s Black community. Many of these predatory practices still exist in some form today. The program will also include a discussion of their impact beyond the inability to build wealth.

Moderators:
Juan Thomas, Of Counsel, Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer; Chair-elect, ABA Section on Civil Rights and Social Justice; Bruce Orenstein, Director, Editor, Producer; Artist in Residence, Samuel DuBois Cook Center on Social Equity, Duke University; Graham C. Grady, Partner, Taft Law; Dr. Beryl Satter, Author, Family Properties: Race, Real Estate and the Exploitation of Black Urban America; Professor of History, Rutgers University-Newark
