Have African-Americans been disproportionately affected by the recession? And, if so, what can be done about these negative impacts?
These will be the questions on the minds of black economists and other experts at an African-American Economic Summit, Nov. 1-2 at UNC and Duke.
The summit is presented by UNC’s Institute of African-American Research and Duke’s Research Network on Racial and Ethnic Inequality. Sessions open to the public will be from 2 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 1 in UNC’s Hyde Hall and from 8 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. on Nov. 2 in Duke’s Social Sciences Research Institute conference room at 2024 W. Main St., Durham.
