    Racial Justice and Centering the Black Community: A Milken Institute Community Discussion

    Richard Ditizio, Byron Allen, Philip Ozuah, Don Peebles, Debra Smith

    This panel redefines systemic racism as an ambient condition perpetuating severe economic disparities in real estate, healthcare, and media despite decades of diversity initiatives. Key figures including Byron Allen, Don, and CalSTRS representatives highlighted how minority entrepreneurs face capital exclusion while institutions like CalSTRS leverage shareholder power to mandate board diversity. The discussion concluded with a strategic pivot from philanthropy to investment, framing the inclusion of underrepresented groups as an essential "emerging market" for national economic competitiveness.
