After joining us on Zoom to discuss his book, Clyburn sat down with me for a follow-up interview. “This book is the money book because it’s about capitalism,” Clyburn said during our book club meeting. Black homeownership is as low as it was when housing discrimination was legal. There is a significant homeownership gap, with Black homeownership at 45 percent, nearly 30 percentage points lower than the White homeownership rate of 72 percent. In the subject line put “Color of Money Book Club.” I’ll feature feedback in my weekly newsletter.
