Lack of Business Participation: 
The Wealth Gap


 African Americans are the only U.S. racial group earning less than in 2000

Black boys are the least likely of any group to escape poverty

And the most likely to fall into it — even if they are born wealthy, according to a new study

It finds that black men fare worse economically than white men even if they are raised in households with similar incomes and educated similarly.

A black boy brought up in a wealthy family is as likely to become poor in adulthood as he is to remain prosperous.
