With Juneteenth - a federal holiday recognizing Black liberation and the end of slavery in the U.S. two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed- coming up on Friday, the disconnect between financial equality and Black Americans is still at large.

By the numbers: According to the latest data from the Federal Reserve, between 2020 and 2022, the average median net worth for an average white family was over $285,000.

The median net worth of the average Black, non-Hispanic family was $44,900 - a staggering $240,000 disparity.
