America’s Wealth Gap is rooted in racism. How did we get here?
"Income inequality is at a crisis point in America. But it’s not the first time the country has faced an extreme wealth gap. In part one of a two-part series, we explore the Depression-era policies and programs that were meant to address wealth inequality. And we talk to Bay Area residents who were stripped of generational wealth when their ancestors were barred from opportunities to capitalize on support programs."
