Brenda Cotto-Escalera and Dedrick Muhammad talked about the subprime mortgage crisis, calling it the the greatest loss of wealth for African Americans in modern history. They are the co-authors of Foreclosed: State of the Dream 2008, a report detailing how the subprime mortgage crisis will impact African-Americans and other racial groups. They find the costs to different groups will vary due to the racial bias in the way these loans were marketed and delivered. They answered questions from the members of the audience.
