Is There a Difference Between Race and Economic Inequality?

Kyle Strickland, Deputy Director, Race and Democracy at the Roosevelt Institute joins The Realignment to build upon last week’s episode with John McWhorter. Kyle is the co-author of a new report: A New Paradigm for Justice and Democracy: Moving Beyond the Twin Failures of Neoliberalism and Racial Liberalism. In this episode, he discusses the past, present, and future of the civil rights movement, the tie between race and class, and how 20th-century paradigms no longer provide the framework for governing the United States.
