It was all a dream : a new generation confronts the broken promise to black America
Allen, Reniqua2019
Books
In the last few decades, any hope of economic progress for black Americans has been slowly and steadily undermined. This quiet crisis was only exacerbated by the recession, which cut black households' wealth by over 30%. Black millennials watched their parents try to play by the rules, buying homes and aspiring to the trappings of middle-class life, only to sink deeper and deeper into debt. Now, in the post-Obama era, young black Americans face a critical turning point, as they try to realize dreams too long deferred. In 'It Was All a Dream,' Reniqua Allen tells the stories - too often overlooked - of black millennials struggling, innovating, and flourishing.
