Dr. Darity Among Time’s 18 Black Leaders to End Racial Wealth Gap

Among Sen. Corey Booker and Issa Rae, Time Magazine has recognized Dr. William “Sandy” Darity (Sanford) as one of 18 Black leaders working to end the racial wealth gap for his work on baby bonds. Baby bonds aim to bridge the racial wealth gap by depositing government funds into children's accounts to be accessed later in life, with larger amounts for lower-income families. The program is gaining momentum in several states and has federal legislation backing it. Read more about “The Closers” collection on Time magazine.
