Is the Benefit of a Two-Parent Family a Myth? Harvard Sociologist Explains

Season 2025 Episode 7320 | 18m 01s

For decades, research has shown a strong link between high numbers of single-parent households and the disadvantages faced by Black Americans. Harvard sociologist Christina Cross is challenging this idea in her new book "Inherited Equality." The author joins the show to explain how viewing systemic disparity through a different lens might help disadvantaged Black communities.
