Toward Inclusive Excellence Podcast

In the debut "summer session" episode of the TIE Podcast, TIE editor in chief Alexia Hudson-Ward speaks with Steven S. Rogers, retired Harvard Business School MBA Class of 1957 Senior Lecturer of Business Administration, and author of A Letter to My White Friends and Colleagues: What You Can Do Right Now to Help the Black Community Friends (Wiley, 2021). Rogers' book is informed by his work at Harvard Business School, the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and his own experiences as a Black person. He explores the wealth disparity between Black and white Americans and how we can all work to close the wealth gap. In this episode you'll gain a greater understanding of the root causes of racial wealth inequity, why Rogers believes that Black people should receive reparations from the United States Government, and hear recommendations for how you can direct your spending to support a more equitable financial system.

[Correction: In this episode, Andrew Jackson's name was mistakenly mentioned in conjunction with the rescindment of Sherman's Special Order #15. It was Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's successor, who did this, not Andrew Jackson.]
