Washington, DC \u2013 May 2, 2022:<\/strong> <\/strong>The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) today released the video A Proposal to Repair Racial Wealth Disparity<\/a>, in which experts in tax law present their research on racial wealth disparity and provide options for funding and making reparations to Black Americans. The video is part of the College\u2019s informational series Planning for a Diverse and Equitable Future<\/a>, <\/em>a project of ACTEC\u2019s Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Committee, funded by The ACTEC Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Repairing the wealth divide due to past and ongoing racist policies and practices seems overwhelming, but with conversation and research come solutions. ACTEC Fellows share their research and suggestions for a new future. Sarah Moore Johnson<\/a> offers recommendations for building communities through a new type of charitable organization. Professor Phyllis Taite<\/a> examines the history of wealth disparity in regard to U.S. tax policy. And, Raymond C. Odom<\/a> explains the history of the estate tax as a tool to reduce wealth inequality generally and promotes its use to find possible options for repairing racial wealth disparities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Series host and executive producer, ACTEC Fellow Terrence M. Franklin<\/a> states, \u201cThis video may be the most important we\u2019ve produced. Please take the time to watch this video to better understand the issues and our nation\u2019s potential path for an equitable future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
