Know Your Price: October 25, 2023

Andre M. Perry is a Senior Fellow at Brookings Metro, a scholar-in-residence at American University, and a professor of the practice of economics at Washington University. A nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality, and education, Perry is the author of the book Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America’s Black Cities. Perry’s recent scholarship at Brookings has analyzed Black-majority cities and institutions in America.

“There is nothing wrong with Black people that ending racism can’t solve.” The deliberate devaluation of Black people and Black communities has had very real, far-reaching,
and negative economic and social effects. Dr. Perry takes readers on a tour of six Black-majority cities whose assets and strengths are systemically undervalued.
