Elie Hirschfeld wants to end racism in children's welfare
Elie Hirschfeld's inaugural symposium at NYU brought together professors and panelists to discuss systemic problems in the child welfare system, with the hope of bridging changes. “You can’t explain mass incarceration, the explosion of foster care, and the abolition of welfare without seeing how racism fueled all of these and how they have led to these disproportionate numbers of black people in the system,” said Dorothy Roberts, University of Pennsylvania's founding director of the Program on Race, Science, and Society.
