Webinar
Due to circumstances outside of our control, this webinar is postponed.
The Constance Baker Motley Speaker Series on Racial Inequality is presented by the Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) and its Diversity and Inclusion Committee, in collaboration and co-sponsorship with the Connecticut Bar Foundation (CBF) and James W. Cooper Fellows
About the Program
This panel will feature legal scholars and experts who study historical and ongoing inequities in our banking system and financial services more broadly, and/or who are actively engaged in working to address those inequities through policy activism and innovation within the industry.
You Will Learn
- About the history of how banking, shaped by broader racist social and economic policies, has contributed to and perpetuated the racial wealth gap over generations
- How community development banking seeks to address racial inequities in banking, with specific focus on Connecticut
- About specific aspects of finance that continue to disproportionately poorly serve people of color, including bank overdraft practices, predatory lending and the student loan industry
Who Should Attend
Any attorney who would like to learn more about the role that the financial services industry has played in creating and perpetuating the racial wealth gap, and the ways in which it could become a force for positive change.
