DESCRIPTION:Join the Social Justice Initiative and author Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor for a discussion about her new book, Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership, which has been longlisted for a 2019 National Book Award.

About the Book:       Race for Profit uncovers how exploitative real estate practices continued well after housing discrimination was banned.

About the Author:       Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor writes and speaks on Black politics, social movements, and racial inequality in the United States. She is Assistant Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University.
