Abstract
In “Black Americans in the 21st Century: Should we be Optimistic or Concerned?”, Dr. Angel Harris discusses a number of facts about the myriad gaps in performance between black Americans and white Americans. In what follows, I present evidence that suggests that a combination of race-conscious policies and early-childhood investments should be included in any policy that seeks to reduce the gaps in performance between black Americans and white Americans.
