$888,000 vs $28,000: How Housing Policy Created the Wealth Gap

#FinancialFreedom #WealthBuilding #BlackWealth #Entrepreneurship
Forty years after redlining, the results are undeniable. In this clip, real estate expert Courtney Johnson Rose breaks down how a single housing decision in 1976 led to nearly $888,000 in wealth for a white family—and just $28,000 for a Black family.

This gap didn’t happen because of effort or work ethic. It happened because of systemic barriers that delayed Black homeownership, and in real estate, time is the single most powerful wealth-building vehicle.

This is why advocacy for Black homeownership and targeted housing programs isn’t about preference—it’s about correcting structural disadvantage and accelerating wealth creation where the clock was intentionally stalled.
