Mutual Fund Directors Forum - A Conversation with Steven Rogers on A Letter to My White Friends and Colleagues: What You can Do now to Help the Black Community

In this webinar, the Forum staff will talk with Steven Rogers, an independent director on the Oakmark Funds board and former Harvard Business School professor, about his book A Letter to My White Friends and Colleagues: What You can do Now to Help the Black Community. It is a “call to action” that focuses on solutions to the country’s racial challenges. Steven’s thesis is that the root cause of the black-white racial problems, is the racial wealth disparity. The book is chockful of data, research and anecdotes used to explain how the wealth gap was created and actions that can be taken to close it.

This webinar originally aired on Thursday, January 13, 2022.
