Minnesota's Achievement and Opportunity Gaps

Guest: University of Minnesota Professor of Sociology/Department Chair Doug Hartmann

Minnesota has some of the nation’s worst achievement and opportunity gaps between whites and people of color. These disparities manifest themselves in lower high school graduation rates, lower homeownership rates and less accumulation of wealth for non-white Minnesotans. University of Minnesota Professor of Sociology and Department Chair Doug Hartmann discusses these racial inequities and the challenges society faces in trying to level the playing field.
