Article Summary
In an August 2013 speech from the Lincoln Memorial, President Obama was expected to emphasize that increased economic equality is needed to improve racial equality. Economic gaps based on race have endured for 50 years, with the differences in unemployment rates between blacks and whites remaining virtually unchanged and the gap in wealth actually increasing. "If you look at 50 years after the 1960s civil rights movement, the most stubborn and persistent challenge when it comes to the nation's racial challenge remains in the areas of economics and wealth," said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League.
