The most crucial part of building generational wealth in America is land ownership.
Unfortunately, for most of America’s history, Black people have had to jump through endless hoops and hurdles just to get a piece of land.
According toStatista, homeownership among Black Americans is the lowest of any race, sitting at 45%. Meanwhile, the US average is 68%, and non-Latino white Americans are at 74%.
