FROM THE LATEST EPISODE
“There’s no way that you could have a system in the United States that disproportionately serves black families and it’s better than what white families get.
That’s just impossible knowing how the U.S. is structured around white supremacy and racism.”
In the latest episode, Dorothy Roberts, acclaimed scholar of race, gender and the law at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare joins the WBI show with co-founder of Movement for Family Power, Lisa Sangoi, to discuss the history of the American child welfare system.
