A June 23 open forum at the University of Baltimore, hosted by the Congressional Black Caucus and Democratic Party members of the Joint Economic Committee, raised key questions about what some characterize as a racial and economic rift in American society—a growing sense that "separate but unequal" is a 21st century reality.
The forum's audience "gave it to us straight," Rep. Elijah E. Cummings told The Washington Post after the discussion.
