 Corporate
race-based pricings drain pockets of Black consumers
Blacks are shelling out more green for major financial
services, according to new data that shows skin color matters more than

more. While national efforts have developed to create fairer rates and
policies, financial experts say consumer education is the key to
stopping systematic rip-offs.

Youth oppose 'super jail for
children'
OAKLAND�As county officials plan the construction of
the largest per capita juvenile hall in the country, youth protesters
are feverishly organizing against the building of what they term a
"super jail for children." Alameda County, home to the city of
Oakland and the place where most of the county�s juvenile offenders come

center. This would give the modest-sized county the largest juvenile hall
per capita in the country.
