Racial Equity & Real Estate Conversations

This is the third in the Cook County Assessor's series on Racial Equity and Real Estate focusing on homeownership and economic development.

With homeownership rates and economic development in predominantly black communities lagging far behind the rest of the county, the next panel in our series on racial equity and real estate focuses on homeownership equity and confronting our legacy of segregation and economic exploitation. The panel will discuss solutions and strategies to bring more investment and stability in communities of color and the myriad public policy interventions and market incentives that can improve outcomes in our neighborhoods.

Moderator:

• Fritz Kaegi, Cook County Assessor

Panelists:

• Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Assistant Professor, Princeton University, Author of Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership
