Join Manhattan Institute fellow and
Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley
for a live PRI webinar discussing his new book,
The Affirmative Action Myth (Basic Books),
in conversation with Lance Izumi,
senior director of PRI’s Center for Education.

In The Affirmative Action Myth, Jason L. Riley details the neglected history of black achievement without government intervention. Using empirical data, Riley shows how black families lifted themselves out of poverty prior to the racial preference policies of the 1960s and 1970s. Countering thinkers who blame white supremacy and systemic racism for today’s racial gaps, Riley offers a more optimistic story of black success without racial favoritism.
