A recent study found that the average income of households with a head identifying as black was 6.5 times lower than households with a head of household who identities as white.  This racial income gap effects the overall health of our economy and continues to harm specific neighborhoods and communities.  This wealth gap can be traced back to practices of the Jim Crow era where individuals in the Black community were redlined out of specific neighborhoods and not considered for higher paying jobs.  

Racial divisions between Jews and Gentiles was an original issue during Jesus’ time and yet so much of his ministry focused on bridging these divides.
