History and Purpose of the Workshop

---

In 2006, the Searle Freedom Trust provided support for the Chicago Workshop on Black-White Inequality to conduct a three-year series of semi-annual conferences that explore various aspects of black-white inequality and why relative progress for blacks in the United States stopped in many respects during the past two decades. The Workshop is concerned with inequality in education, health, and family structures, as well as income.
