Racial wealth inequality in the US is not a new concept. In the United States, the median net wealth of a white family is 10x the median net wealth of a African American family ($171k vs $17k). There are many reasons to explain this huge gap; however one of the main reasons is lack of home ownership. In the US, 2/3 of the middle’s class’ net wealth is in home equity. However, from the 1930s to late 1960s there was a federal effort to prevent minorities from obtaining mortgages and from moving into new developing areas, and this practice was called redlining. The Federal Housing Administration used maps to identify the riskiness that a loan would default by using two criteria: the age of the home, and the ethnic composition of a neighborhood. The more diverse a neighborhood, the lower it was ranked by the FHA, where many minority neighborhoods were colored red on a map (hence the term redlining). Join me, as I investigate the historical impact of redlining and its legacy today. We will learn about its precursor - racial covenants, the role education has in decreasing the racial wealth gap, and how one historical event could’ve changed how the South Looks today. You don’t want to miss this.

How do we prevent the spread of disease when there is no vaccine? How do we protect the economy? Does Herd Immunity work?These questions that keep policymakers, citizens, and businesses awake at night, were the exact same questions that were asked nearly 100 years ago during the 1918 Spanish Flu. The Spanish Flu killed about ~5% of the worlds population and dropped the life expectancy in the US by 12 years from 1917 to 1919. The challenges we faced so long ago, are still very real today. Join me, as we investigate the origins of the Spanish Flu, how the world responded, and its comparison to Covid 19.

In every single state, black mortality outpaces white morality for Covid 19. This is attributed to many socio-economic factors; however, one key component is the relationship between the African Americans and healthcare community. One such phenomena to describe the relationship has been coined 'the Tuskegee Effect' At the dawn of the 20th century, many American physicians were concerned with the spread of syphilis. However in 1932, Dr. Clark and his colleagues from the Public Health Service, wanted to further understand the final stages of syphilis, where they subsequently deceived 600 poor black sharecroppers in Macon, Alabama to become subjects of their study at the Tuskegee Institute. Their main focus? To investigate how the disease would evolved without medical intervention. The study was originally designed to last for 6 months, but went on for 40 years. Join us as we uncover the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis study, how it was exposed, and how it still impacts healthcare today.

In the 1920s, the Osage Tribe in Oklahoma was considered the wealthiest group of people in the World, because of their oil and gas royalties. However, their wealth brought unwanted attention, and many outsiders schemed to get a piece of Osage wealth, by any means necessary - including murder. Join me, as we investigate the Osage Murders, the trials of those who were arrested, and where the Osage Tribe stands today.

The Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 is one of the worst racial acts of violence in American history. Also known as the Greenwood massacre, hundreds of African Americans were killed, with their homes and businesses destroyed. Greenwood was the home many accomplished black individuals, including doctors and lawyers. The home of at least 15 black millionaires, and the top black surgeon in America.....why don't we know more about this? Why is their history erased from Oklahoma History. This will be investigated as we try to uncover what really happened on that fateful day. if you want to learn more, there is a SYSK podcast that covered Black Wall Street on Jan. 16, 2020 that I leveraged quite a bit. I would also encourage y'all to visit this youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iankhf70X0Q which also provided a detailed summary of what happened to Black Wall Street. Enjoy!
