Black New England Conference 2022

Join academics, scholars, entrepreneurs, community activists, theater professionals, and more as we engage in stimulating conversations about wealth and money Black New England Conference 2022.

This year's conference examines the legal framework and institutional practices that block access to wealth for non-whites. The conference will explore the history and legacy of policies – public and private -- that determined where Black families, Indigenous populations, and People of Color could live, work, and go to school. Evidence shows these policies – not personal attributes – create the wealth gap that persists today.

The Conference is both an academic conference and a celebration of Black life and history.
