Summary: For most of its history, the United States excluded people of color from its main pathways of opportunity and upward mobility, causing deep inequities across many aspects of life. But we can imagine a more equitable future in which structural racism - the policies, programs, and institutional practices that generated inequitable outcomes - and its consequences are remedied. Since our nation's inception, racist policies and practices have been carried out by leaders who wrote and spoke about equality while engaging in the purchase, bondage, and sale of people of African descent. Periods of progress have often been followed by periods of backlash. Abolition and the Civil War were followed by Jim Crow laws, white mob violence, and lynchings. The civil rights movement and key legislative accomplishments were followed by cuts in federal antipoverty programs and the acceleration of mass incarceration. The election of our first African American president has been followed by a curtailment in policies that enforce fair housing, reduce inequities in the criminal justice system, and protect consumers from predatory lenders.
