DESCRIPTION:Black Wealth Across the American Century brings together schola
 rship\, history\, economics\, and performance for a timely conversation ex
 amining Black economic life across the 20th century. Presented as part of 
 the Black Arts\, Design & Global Engagement (BADGE) Lecture Series\, the p

 ys chronicling the Black experience across ten decades of American life.\n

 der how Black communities have navigated wealth creation\, economic opport
 unity\, systemic barriers\, and generational change—and how those realit
 ies are reflected in Wilson’s dramatic portrait of Black America. Dr. Ra
