I’ve recently finished Derrick Bell’s short story series, Faces At The Bottom Of The Well. He was a civil rights lawyer who lived between 1930-2011, taught at Harvard Law, and wrote some of the most thought-provoking ideas about race in America I’ve encountered yet. The series ends with The Space Traders, Bell’s most famous short story.

Curious to see if economic conditions have improved since Bell’s writing, I looked it up on Pew Research Center and found 6 Facts About Economic Inequality. Looks as bad and worse than, yikes.
