I'd been hearing that brothers and sisters of various backgrounds had been leaving organizations like the Ford Foundation in droves, largely because these institutions became unwilling to fund research and programs dedicated to dealing with the problems of black and brown communities. Melvin Oliver who co-authored Black Wealth White Wealth for example, used to be a Vice-President at the Ford Foundation, and now he's an academic Dean in the UC system (either Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz, I forget which).
Turns out people aren't just blowing in the wind.
The report "Short Changed: Foundation Giving and Communities of Color" has been made available by the kind people of the Applied Research Center.
