Owning a home has long been considered a pillar of the American dream, but for many households of color, homeownership continues to feel out of reach. In this episode, Dedrick Asante-Muhammad and Lillian Singh sit down with Phyllis Logan, Housing Committee Co-Chair and second vice president for the Illinois branch of the NAACP to discuss the central role of housing and homeownership in the vision of the NAACP and the challenges to getting more households of color on the path to affordable homeownership. Plus, Phyllis busts some mortgage myths.You can contact Dedrick Asante-Muhammad through Facebook: www.facebook.com/dedrickm1You can contact Phyllis Logan through Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/CHICAGOWESTNAACPPlease remember to rate, comment, and subscribe to the Race and Wealth Podcast on Itunes, SoundCloud and Stitcher Radio.Supplemental Reading:How the 'Black Tax' Destroyed African-American Homeownership in Chicagohttp://www.citylab.com/housing/2015/06/how-the-black-tax-destroyed-african-american-homeownership-in-chicago/395426/Financial Insecurity in Chicago: A Data Profilehttp://familyassetscount.org/pdf/Chicago%20Family%20Assets%20Count%20A%20Data%20Profile.pdfThe intro is "Curiousity" by Lee Rosevere from the Album- Music for Podcasts.The outro is "Credit Roll" by Lee Rosevere from the Album- Music for Podcasts.Both tracks can be found at https://exit.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffreemusicarchive.org%2Flabel%2FHappy_Puppy_Records%2Fblog%2FMusic_for_PodcastsRace and Wealth is edited and produced by Kye Hunter and Jessika Lopez with Dedrick Asante-Muhammad as co-producer
